Electrical R23

[cwalden]

Just replaced all four batteries. Engine good, thruster good, house no good. Have to use boat on parallel for house and dash power. Have house switch on properly. Did i miss a breaker under port cockpit locker? I may have accidentally flipped cockpit courtesy lights for a few days, but not sure would discharge both new deep cycle house batteries. Any quick breaker thoughts?
Thanks very much!!!!!

Sounds like leaving the courtesy lights on for a few days is the culprit. I would charge your batteries up and then monitor. When away from the boat it is good practice to turn all your battery switches off unless you are on shore power with charger on.

Did they work after being replaced, prior to light left on?

I doubt courtesy lights would drain new batteries that quick. There is a breaker for the house that should be in the lazarette. It has a lever on it. My guess is that it got tripped or accidentally bumped.

Uh oh! Another question for my R23 geniuses. Batteries all fine house, thruster, engine, but no power to the main panel. The rotary switches for house, parallel and engine work fine, but no indicator green lights on the panel. I think all breakers in port cockpit lazarette are on, but also dont see anything on battery charger.
Any thoughts here? Thanks so much

You didnt say if you were connected to shore power or not. If you are, you need to flip the shore power breaker to 'on'. Once you do that, the battery charger circuit breaker can also be turned on.

If you are not connected to shore power, then you wont have any power at the main panel unless you turn on your inverter. To do that, you have to flip the breaker to 'inverter' and turn it on, and also turn the inverter on. There are a few different styles of switches depending on your model year and options.
