    The batteries are also supposed to be fully charged before equalizing.

    Did you check your electrolyte level. Equalization on modern 3 stage
    chargers is time and should be temperature limited. You must remove the caps
    from lead acid batteries to permit the hydrogen to escape - the boat should
    be open.

    After equalization, it is often necessary to top-off the batteries with
    distilled water. In fact, with hindsight, it would be wise to top them off
    prior to equalization.
