So something weird has started happening the last few weeks (that I've noticed at least). Here's the situation.

We keep the boat in our garage and plug the charger into an extension cord running from the boat to an outlet in the garage. We just recently put in some new Trojan AGM batteries as well as a new battery charger. Now, when the charger is plugged in and you lean against the gunwales (aluminum boat) you get a shock 9 times out of ten.

Thoughts? Does it sound like a short or connection problem? I'm beyond dumb when it comes to anything electrical.
