Sounds like you have a bad rectifier/regulator, or broken/loose connection.

A good battery reads 12.4 on its own. It doesn't sound to me like you're ever getting anything.

Quin<br />Static battery voltage is 12.6 Volts. For proper charging should be between 13.8 to 14.4 volts.

Thanks for the replies,by the way, I did charge the battery and had used the boat 3 times so 12.3 is probably right if it wasn't charging.
