There’s good chance that was the result of the batteries outgassing; the gas is
corrosive. That’s part of the reason (along with salt corrosion) that ABYC
requires tinned strands in marine-grade wiring.

Bev,
When you say it starts easily on the house system, how exactly are you doing
that? By combining at your battery switch? If that’s the case, there’s a
connection issue between your engine battery and the switch — an issue that
disappears when you combine.
As Fred mentioned, low 12’s is ve
Do whichever is easier:
1) switch the batteries ( house and starting )
2) switch the battery cables, ie house positive and ground to the starting,
starting positive and ground to house
If the selection of starting battery ( which is now the house battery ) starts
the engine easily then the star

One other thing — if the battery is just over 12 volts, it may be time to
replace it. A fully-charged wet cell battery should be at about 12.8 volts.
And if your voltage at the starter is down to seven volts when trying to start,
that say the battery is ready for replacement.

Check ground wiring at the engine and battery for loose or corroded terminals
and wire; check starter wiring connections for loose or corroded terminals and
wire. Same for the start button on the control panel.

The starting battery is showing a little over twelve volts but at the starter
motor it is down to just over seven. As a result the engine will not turn over
but starts easily on the house system. Somewhere we are loosing five volts. For
a Luddite can anyone explain where we start to find the pro
