failure to launch.


Could not start engines (Cat 3126s) today. Seems like it's electrical but don't know. Checked voltmeter before attempting to start. Batt 1 was at 11.9 and Batt 2 was bouncing around 14. When I turned key, the buzzer went all hinky, the indicator light for the windlass dimmed and engine did not turn over. Tried other engine - same result.

Switched to Batt 2. Same symptoms, same result. Switched to both. Same/same result.
I do not understand why motors would not start off Batt 2.

Odd that Batt 1 was at 11.9 since charger is functioning.

This whole thing is odd.

Thoughts and opinions welcome.
