My Dad just bought a 2000 340 DA and everything is going great, but we had a little issue today and I wanted to see what you guys though. Now this happened why we were hooked to shore power, so remember that.
Soooo... the previous Owner had not used the freshwater tank much at all, and it needed to be flushed in a bad way, so Dad and I threw some bleach into the tank and used the chrome spigot at the stern attached to a hose and just let the freshwater pump run. This went perfect for two tanks, and then toward the end of the last flush the low voltage alarms started going off and the engines would not start without using the emergency start. I was puzzled... We were hooked to shore power and the converter switch was on, but it still ran the battery down. We did have the 12V cabin lights on at the same time which seems to really pull alot of amps.
Could it be that the used more amps that the converter could put out, or do I need to do some more testing?
