went down today, and found that my broker had knocked out a shore power cord by crammign abunch of stuff into the transom locker.

it appeared that, as a result, port batteries were low.

later, i noticed a couple of things:
- sea ray systems monitor called up about every fault it has in the data bank: port engine alarm, stbd engine alarm, water temp, exhaust tem, forward bilge pump, aft bilge pump
- radio won't power up
- salon lights were dim when i hit front lights on the dc panel
- gfci was popped - fixed it

i am hoping this will all be cured by a few days of charging, now that the shore power cords are plugged in. is this systems monitor gone wacky a result of low voltage in the port batteries? it only wigged out when i turned on dc accessories. when ac only accessories were on, it was fine.
 
I think you are right.

The systems monitor is very low voltage sensitive and anything below about 11.5 V can give you screwy resuilts. My bet is that once the batteries are recharged, everything will be fine.
