The bilge pump got me!
Went over to the other farm at first light (faint) to check on the corn after a nasty thunderstorm squall line had gone through during the night - worried about hail... As a habit when there, swung by the boat to check.... Heard a faint humming... Long story short - storm water had activated the bilge pump and it never shut off... House set is down to 10 volts (damn)... Could not in the darkness find the fuse for the pump so grabbed a wrench and unhooked the + leads off the battery...
Brought the boat home... It is recharging now in front of the workshop and the charger is hot... Later today when charging is done the fumes from the batteries have dissipated I will attempt to contort myself into the bilge and remove the pump...
