Back in the fall I started having trouble cranking my boat. When I would go to crank it I noticed that it wasnt turning over very well. The first few cranks were strong but then they would get weaker. I thought maybe my cranking battery was going dead. About a month later I launched my boat and it wouldnt turn over at all. I jumped it and rode around for awhile at full throttle so the it would charge back up and this worked just enough so I could get it started, but it still was turning over slow. My voltage meter reads 12volts when the engine is off. When I put the battery on a charger it also showed it had a full charge or at least a good charge. Could I have a bad battery or a short of some kind? I purchased the boat new only six months ago.
