After visiting with Ron (I think, been 8-9 yrs ago) we determined that is what was happening. After changing my technique, I didn't have any problems. I'm considering going to 36v on my 210 & if I do, I'll either have to mount the 3rd battery under the rear area, ahead of the transom or relocate my oil tank there and install a remote fill. If the battery goes under there, I'll definitely look into Flow-Rite again.
