My dad's 1978 '46 flybridge convertible is near Miami. The marina has power issues. The batteries can't be charged
from shore power because of Irma. I need to have the boat started to charge the batteries so the bilge pumps
will run.
I need to know which battery bank (port or starboard) runs the bilge pumps on this boat. The starboard engine
had an issue with refusing to stop, and I'm not sure it has been fixed. I can have someone start the boat, but I would
rather not have him start the starboard engine because he may not know what to do if it keeps running.
If the port bank runs the bilges, then I'm okay. I can have him start the port engine only to charge that bank.
I am 300 miles away, and it would be very hard for me to get to Miami in time to do this myself.
