I purchased a 23SE new back in 2016. I haven't had any issues but one (discussed below) however curious to see when people switch out the batteries considering I am passing the 4yr mark.
I would rather be proactive than being stuck with dead batteries but is 4 years too early? I haven't seen my volts drop below 12V; usually around 14V but will hover around 12/13 if I am anchored and have electronics on but usually pops back to 14.1V when i crank the engine and the batteries are able to charge back up.
The only issue I have had is the Garmin GPS/finder will "reboot" when I crank the motor back on after being at anchor. It's as if the power was cut off to the Garmin unit and it cycles as if being turned on when starting the boat cold. Never had this issue before but started just last year hence the reason I am thinking the batteries are getting weak.
In the past, I kept the boat high and dry at a dry rack marina but now I have it trailered at the house; I don't want to arrive at the ramp only to find out my batteries are dead or worse, won't crank when out on the water.
Let me know what you guys think, TIA!
