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.
