These were the readings prior to and after testing the batteries (off shore power of course). I checked the batteries and they read 13.1 and 12.7 respectively. Thank you, Peter. My arm and volt meter leads aren't long enough to check the voltage while trying to start the engine. Have to take my wife down there for that.
As of now, I'm leaning toward Edward's comment about the worn brushes. I've since started the engine after multiple attempts.
Onward and upward... solution will be solved.
By the way: I run at 180-200 degree F with RWC pretty consistently, load or no load. Engine temperature poll mentioned RWC is usually cooler 140-160 degree F. Albeit, that is another future endeavor.
