Westerbeke 8kw, on mooring, no shore power. I turn gen power switch off at night. In morning, gen volt meter at start panel with pre heat engaged shows only 9 volts, won't start gen. Battery voltage reads 12.7 with voltmeter. Battery is 1 year old, checks good with hydrometer.
Losing voltage between battery and preheat/voltmeter.
Will take battery out and get tested under load, any thoughts or suggestions?
Also, gen battery doesn't appear to charge when main engines are run, is this normal?
Also, gen is not in jumper circuit, why not? I started it by jumping from jumper switch with cable.
