    I called the boat dealer today. Im going to take the boat in tommorrow and let them sort it out. He said its possible the GPS is the problem. Said something about the GPS needing a switch on it or else it would draw constantly from the battery. I dont get that...but thats what he said. I took the boat out after work...and like clockwork, 3 hours into the trip the low voltage warning came up again on the 997. The voltage alarm IS set to off so the problem isnt in the unit adjustments. So I come home...plug the on-board charger in..and in 20 minutes it indicates that battery is fully charged! I am done with it. Im going to let them sort it out tommorrow.

    Another if it were me. I'd charge the batteries up, unhook the positive side of each battery and wait a day. Then the next day I'd take a volt meter and check the voltage of each battery to see if any read lower than the other two. I think thats where Cane Poles chart would come in handy.

    Yep there are a lot that reads these problems so they know what to do in the future "IF" they can remember. Always remember there are no stupid questions. I don't think anyone minded chipping in their 2 cents and trying to help. There are several things that could have caused your problem. We are just glad you got it resolved and can get on the water.

    My high school principal had a picture on his wall that stated the only dumb question is the question not asked.
