If you have opened all the breakers and still show voltage I would next pull the primary +12v lead off each battery bank to try and isolate the short. Then would work backwards disconnecting the charge wire from the affected bank, etc. I would also look behind the disconnect / distribution panel to see of some foil has come in contact with a 12v lead.
Obviously you have a serious potential fire hazard. I wouldn't leave the boat with the batteries connected and would even consider using an ohm meter to neck the problem down as opposed to a volt meter.
Good luck and let us know what you find
