Hello,
First, please forgive me because my husband and I are new to boating and I'm completely incompetent and a novice when it comes to boats.
We bought a 2007 V8 Bayliner last year and had an additional battery installed w/switch. The boat was great fun and after a few kinks we had no problems. We winterized the boat and stored indoors. Recently we had it dewinterized and serviced for the summer. Apparently the temperature was running hot so the thermostat was replaced. I don't believe there were additional issues.
We also had two speakers installed on our wakeboard by a separate individual. Yesterday we took the boat out for the first time and it works great with both batteries but when my husband tries to switch to just one battery, a beeping alarm sounds. The same sound just prior to the engine start.
Can you please help troubleshoot? Could the problem be due to the service we had, wiring during the speaker installation, etc...?
