Hi all,

I am a new owner of a 1990 3467. I am having trouble figuring out how the batteries are wired.

I have a single Perko switch in a compartment on the port side of the cockpit. There is a single standard-sized battery for the generator that is not connected to anything else; it is to port of the port engine. There are 2 standard sized batteries in the center of the engine compartment. There is also a large 8D battery aft of the starboard engine.

I am not sure how the 8D battery and the other 2 batteries are wired to the Perko. Was the 8D an option for the 3467 or was this a custom installation? The electrical panel only shows battery 1 and 2. There are also 2 volt meters at the helm labelled battery 1 and 2.

My problem is that the starter for the port engine labors to spin the engine like the battery is almost dead but voltages seem fine. The starter for the starboard engine spins the motor just fine. The port starter labors with Perko set to 1, 2, or all. Once the port engine starts, it runs just fine.

Thanks for the help!
