battery solenoid lights off- when its on?

[glynnalan]

couple things i need advice on. I have 3 solenoid battery switches inside power console. I've never turned battery switches off, but did for first time a week ago. When i turned on the port light worked, but the starboard and gen battery light on the switch does night light up blue--like it had before.
the battery is on, and both motors start.
Now, the port battery when running shows voltage at 14 volts, and the starboard is at 12 volts.
do i need new batteries on the starboard? did something malfunction when i turned the battery solenoid switches off?
please help
thank you!

Old thread, but it sounds like you fried the alternator on the stb engine. Both should read 13-14 volts when running.

Maybe maybe not. Do yourself a favor, properly test ALL your battery's. Then check the charging system.
