Need help with battery on 2005 40 PC located under mattress in front cabin for the windlass/thruster. Unit is not charging. After disconnecting the battery I read 11 volts (after a brutal winter) and there is no voltage across battery cables with charger switch on. Is there a fuse somewhere i am missing? Is there a separate charger for windlass/thruster battery? I have a 6 AMP Guest charger in the engine compartment that i think is for this battery - or is it for the generator battery? The large 80 amp Charles charger in engine compartment is working and charges the engine batteries normally.
Thanks for any advice.
 
The 6 amp charger is for the generator. windlass battery charges off the Charles charger. When I bought my boat the windlass battery would not charge. It took quite a while to get it resolved. Some new wiring and breakers were added on the wall where the thruster motor is. I don't remember the specifics,it was 9 years ago.
 
There is a battery isolator/combiner that maybe defective. On my '05 31 PC it is located behind the built in storage under the V-berth.

Formula had problems w/ the OEM unit and eventually replaced many w/ one from either Blue Sea or Paneltronics.

There is a circuit breaker for the charging of the windless battery in the forward floor opening. The red switch with the flip lever reset.
