I think I'd get a new battery first, then try again.
6 years is a old battery in a trailer boat.

Mine are nearly 3 years, and I'm going to replace the start battery in the next few months, just as insurance maintenance.
At the same time I'll get both load tested, and maybe put the current start as the house bat, then new one next year.
