What a marvellous day, yesterday! Warm, breezy and smooth water!
As I had a new lady as crew, I didn't want to make an issue of this. My 503 windgen was whirring away as usual, but when I switched the HRDX controller to read the two battery voltages, they showed around 4.7V. As the instruments and radio fired up without problems, I tried the engine - the starter ran at normal speed, although the engine started so willingly it was not much of a test.
I shall return with a multimeter to try and see what's happening, but I wondered if anyone recognises the symptoms? Always good to have a few ideas as a guide when troubleshooting.

P.S. Good day? Even the outboard on the tender started first pull - and that's a first!
