I don't want to seem like I am doubting you, just asking for a little more info...
We figured since it has an emergency pull start rope, that it should run without a battery...so we tried it and it shut off...
Then we turned off the battery to the running Stbd engine and it kept running...
after that we read the warning on the switches "Don't shut off while engines running"
did I mention I don't have battery switches on the V20 and was just winging it. Had been running them on BOTH which caused the uncharged battery to drain the charged ones when I left the switch on Both overnight....new boats!!!
I think the PO had some inkling as to a charging problem because all 3 batteries were brand new and he had both Stbd and Port Aux charging wires to the port battery.
