Yeah, the batteries are probably shot, they are dated '99. I have a deep
cycle battery charger and it didn't want to charge one of them before our
summer cruise. I was reluctant to replace them before I install a proper
onboard charger, will replace them in the off season along with installing
the charging system.

One of my off-season projects will be the installation
of a proper on-board charging system. As long as I sail out of this
marina,
keeping the batteries charged with the diesel will be a problem.

How old are your batteries?

I fitted new batteries to Setanta this year, and they made a huge
difference. In future, I'll change them every 4 years.
