I have 1996 mercruiser 7.4 carb engine. I put two new batteries in last spring, along with Noco Genius charger. Everything ran great over the summer, I went out to the boat this past weekend to check her out and went to start her and the batteries seemed like they were half charged. I look at the charger and it was flashing green/red which means it's not at full charge and is charging the batteries. They have a warranty so I thought something might be wrong with them. I took to batteries plus and they said they are ok(but low in water). I took back to the boat, reinstalled them and I'm still having the same issues. Anyone have any ideas of where to start? If they were right, and batteries were ok, could it be a starter about to go out? It's slow starting, then clicks as if no charge.i might just force their hand to replace.
