While out for a lovely day sailing Saturday we noted that the electric head was not draining properly. When I checked it seems like the motor was straining and may need replacement. Afterward when motoring back to our club we noted some issues with wind instrument and then chart plotter. Checking voltage meter revealed a reading of nothing on house bank and 13 volts on starter battery. Back at dock with shore power connected and charger on the voltage was over 12v and all systems and head functioning normally. Next morning with Charging turned off the house batteries showed full charge and all was working.
A very quick check revealed no loose belts and alternator was at least spinning. I was in the middle of a different project that had to be done while it was not raining so left it there for now (installing new genoa tracks). What is the best place to start?
