8 batteries and counting

I am wondering if anyone else is having a similar problem.. I have a 4 bank charger on my 2013 Puma FTD (Noco Genius), and I think it may be eating my batteries. The batteries deliver great performance for about 2-3 hrs, and then they drop off a cliff. The batteries are 31 series wet cell lead acid batteries brand "X". When the batteries start to fade I can put a volt meter on them while drawing with the trolling motor, and I am seeing 8.5 volts, by the days end I am seeing 1.05 - 1.15 volts. The charger shows them fully charged after an over-night plug in, and the volt meter shows 13+ volts (after the over-night charge), yet they fall off after 2-3 hrs of fishing.. Had a single bank that reverse charged a few years back with a 4 bank charger, and I am starting to suspect the same here.. I have the 36V trolling system connected to a lester right now, with the crank connected to a single 12 V charge.. I know they will come back, and test OK, because I had the original 4 batteries tested prior to putting this next 4 in.. I am stumped, and totally frustrated as this has been ongoing since June when I got the boat.. Any insight would be great.
