Probably....but one thing before you go further, go down there and check the water in the batteries and clean all your connections and engine grounds...never know what you get left with.
Seems like the batteries are the first thing to replace when you buy a boat.....

Re: Carver 356 battery question
i dont have group 31's in my 405 and i use golf cart batteries for my house bank.
you may want to check your battery selector switch under your stairs. if you are considering buying new batteries you may want to consider what type of boating you do and upgrading your house bank to a larger capacity at the same time

Re: Carver 356 battery question
In order to find out which is battery one and battery two, disconnect positive cable from a battery and check each post on switch to see which one lost voltage.. do this with the switch off.
