My fishing boat is having issues with keeping the battery charged, I bought a new one yesterday and don't want to cook it too..
It is used to start the boat, run a trolling motor and a few lights. It is connected to a small distributor block I made and I fear I may have a short somewhere or something is stealing current when it's not supposed to. I have a decent multimeter but I don't know how to tell if current is being hijacked.
Anyone want to guide me a bit here? I don't know where the leads go on the meter to find the draw. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif
Thanks!
