[fps42]

I am in the middle of surveying/buying a 42 open and QSM11 engine package. During survey, we found to start the engines that the batteries need to be switched to emergency, then they crank slow, about 5-6 turns on port engine, 3-5 times on starboard, then you hear the starter spin up and the motors fire. All 4 batteries are new.

Owner states is has been like this for the past 5 year that he has owned the boat and he spoke to others that experience the same.

I have never heard this before and believe it is not correct.  Am also investigating with Cummins.

Any other 42 owners have this experience?  

Please let me know your experience.

Thanks
