I bought this mark three over the winter. The wiring and other things have obviously been changed over the years. Therefore my concern. This is an electrical issue.With the main switches in the off position, I connect the two power cables to the battery. I connect the 12 gage wire to the negative wing nut battery post. As I get the positive 12 gage wire near the positive wing nut post I get a small spark. Touch it a second time ....no spark. A volt meter shows 12 volts between the post and wire, which is zero after discharging the wire (spark). However, the charge can be seen to slowly build up again. Seems there is a capacitor in the circuit. I have yet to trace wires, but apart from that and since this is the first "big" boat I have experienced, do you have any ideas? Is this normal (for some reason) or has the previous owner miswired something that I have to locate and correct?
