Engine starting problem

12/05/2008 14:33

The starter on my Yanmar 40hp engine was reluctant to turn it over at the weekend, however on switching the battery selector to both, the engine turned over and started fine.
On checking the engine starting battery (new 2008) I found it to be fully charged as shown by the magic eye.
The boat is left permanently on charge, so there is no reason to doubt the battery was anything other than fully charged, the engine battery and battery selector switch connectors are all secure as is the connector to the starter motor. The starter battery is only used for that purpose.
Any suggestions anyone?
