Marina Del Rey, Ca. Somebody mention about the batteries. It was diffidently my refer that drew down the batteries. But why did the freedom shut down in the first place.   If the batteries were over heating our over charged etc. our circuit breaker of fuse would have blown.  Water level in the batteries where just topped off a few weeks ago and are still fine.   Thanks, JOHN

Did anyone have any strange electrical problems this past weekend?  When I
arrived at our boat Saturday morning I had no power, my batteries went
completely dead. No fuses or circuits affected but the Freedom 20 was not
working.  The dock manager said they didn't have any power interruptions.
After I reset everything all is well with batteries back to normal.  We did
have one of the largest solar flares in history last week?  
Thanks, JOHN
