What he said… My first thing to check would be the connections on the battery terminals (both of them, + and -). You can easily drop 5 V if they are even slightly corroded or not attached correctly (do you have wing nuts there?)

Bad connection. That’s as simple as I can make it… :^) Check ground wiring at the engine and battery for loose or corroded terminals and wire; check starter wiring connections for loose or corroded terminals and wire. Same for the start button on the control panel. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI On Sep 22, 2017, at 2:00 PM, Bev Parslow via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: The starting battery is showing a little over twelve volts but at the starter motor it is down to just over seven. As a result the engine will not turn over but starts easily on the house system. Somewhere we are loosing five volts. For a Luddite can anyone explain where we start to find the problem? Please use simple terms as I did not do well in science.
