Default battery charger seems to have died

Yeah, don't doubt it, but this was connected to a real 110v.



Have we put our AC voltmeter across the terminals of the charger's AC
input?

The charger's breaker could have corroded contacts or have just failed.

If it's got AC, unplug the boat from the dock and open up the charger so
you can see its hidden little fuse that probably blew.

If the charger had shorted out, you wouldn't have had any problems
smelling it when you opened that hatch...

Your batteries are toast, being left in this deep discharged condition
long enough for you to read this. You should have rushed to Walmart and
bought an automatic battery charger to recharge them LONG before now.
