Buy the batteries and put them in. If you have never equalized (US Battery says monthly, Promariner says 4x per year) they are on their last legs. Figure a set of batteries being the same cost as a tank of fuel. If the cases are bulging, it means sulphation has filled the space between the plates and the case; hygrometer testing essential, distilled water. If you ever let the toos of the plates show or discharged below about 12.2 volts...?
The only hard part of all this is getting the buggers in and out of their boxes. Hire a “meaty boy” to do it for you.
I did all this a month ago, about 1.2 boat dollars for 6.
