Hi,
Today I was spending the afternoon with my family in my bertram 30 moppie (with 1994 cummins 6bta engines). When starting the engines to head back home port engine fired perfectly but starboard engine seemed to have low electrical power. It ended up firing up. After that, when I was retrieving the anchor with the windlass the low battery alarm went off.On the way back, the starboard volt gauge barely reached 12v when normally reaches 14 and the rpm gauge of the starboard engine stopped working.
Do you think I’m just facing a defective battery issue or could be the alternator not charging adecuately? I’m incline to think it is just the battery but the rpm gauge not working worries me.
I would really apreaciate your advice.
Many thanks in advance.
