I've never had that problem with a boat, but with a car it was my alternator. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to give you some different ideas. They may even be able to tell you how to test it and fix the problem... check back in.

. Remove battery, check cell fluid levels, and charge--only then will you know what shape it's really in.
. Clean battery and cable connections.
