Boat 1990 carver santego 2767. Mercruiser twin4.3's.
Boat has been hooked to shore power since wednesday, batteries off, shore power plugged in dock main on, boat main off.
Went to go fishing this morning, and the batteries were close to dead. Got the starboard engine started, but not enough for the port.
Question is, shouldn't my shore power be charging my batteries at the dock, or does having the main off in the boat prevent them from charging?
Do I need to leave the main on?
Muchos gracias
