I have had a new alternator fitted.

I think it's because my old batteries could be 6 plus years old I will return to the boat now and post pictures. I did follow suit as the last setup. But don't know where these earth wires should go on the new batteries
-
Yep got them. There on the joining cables to each batter. Can I add the ? Wire to them
-
Sorry drawing is wrong for the terminals. The top terminals on the old batteries had the ? Wires on a separate screw on the - side black. Those cables run into the boat electrical cubboard I think. But the new batteries don't have another screw bit on the terminal. Also on the final batterie at the back it's the same again with the ? Wire but on the positive side

I'm trying to install new batteries. My old batteries only ever put out 11volt i tried yesterday but stoped. Please see my diagrams to help me know where to bolt the ? Wires to the new batteries. (Not accurate diagram drawn from memory) Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'd prefer ask them to do something really stupid

The alternator belt has not come off it's got 2 levels of threads like a inner n outer cog. Got a reading of 13.5 and 14.5 They will come out at a charge of 150-200 will call them to make sure I'm not going to have an engine fire etc -

yes there is dripping(of water) when I turned the stern gland grease. and also this fills up an inch or so from an hours cruise of water under the prop shaft enters the stern tube nicknorman thanks I will get on this in the morning, this is what the call out man said there was a weird tie of with the cable and gear box. -

Thanks for your help Engine Make: Isuzu 35 Im really not sure what gear box make it is right now. Yes I do have to give it some hard core throttle for it to finally catch and propel. then I can just set it back to alittle tick above neutral. The oil level on the dip stick is about 1.5-2 inches I did have a problem a few days back , when I put her into reverse in a lock and the cable from the gear box went wrong and I was stuck in reverse. I called the Emergency call out and he fixed it, So I am feeling now this is more to do with the gear box like you guys said -
Sorry for the question. Im 8 days old on the canals and know very little to nothing at all. 1) I put stern grease in as it was empty screwed it down until I felt some torsion, and then gave it a little twist 2) since then when I start the boat and put her into drive. the propeller does not propell and I have no control 3) After about 4-5 mins, the propeller kicks into life ("right at the critical moment Im about to crash into somebodies boat") 4) Then we are all back on and cruising " I have checked the weed hatch and its all good from what I have seen" " Do you think I have put too much grease into the propeller shaft and its just free spinning and not biting?" there is about 4-5 inches of water building up in its own chamber under the area of the stern area Cheers Guys !
