Mike you could try installing dual batteries, this has worked out well for many people - http://seadoosportbo...dual-batteries/

Mike, are you saying your battery only lasts three outings between charges? If so, and you're not running the stereo all day without the motor running, then seems like either your battery's reached the end of its life or your rectifier/regulator is beat. If the battery is original to the boat then I'd replace it. You might also hunt for any drains on your system when powered down: for instance the bilge pump will run even with the main power switch in the "off" position. In any case it's not normal for the battery to die between outings.

My 95 isn't charging the battery at all (per boat mechanic)either. I stopped him from going any further since it would all be trouble shooting and the meter was running. Anybody else had this problem? Is there a simple fix?
