Ok here is an odd one. Last week I was on a cruise and my GPS blinked off, I looked down at the gauges and notice my Starboard amp reading was zero'ed out. I put the Starboard engine in Neutral and reved it up for a few seconds. Once I did this the needle popped up to 13.5-14A. Thoughts as to why this occurred?
Incidently, I've been experiencing problems with my starboard battery bank. I have one Deep Cycle and one Starting battery that are in series. I'm pretty sure my house battery is shot as it is not holding a charge and wears down very quickly. I'm very close to putting 2 Optima Blue tops D34M's on this bank and giving this a try. In reading the info from the Optima Website it looks like you can use the Deep Cycle as a starting battery, as well, if these two batteries are tied in a series; like mine are. Additional thoughts are appreciated!
Thanks for your help!
