if the motor is cranking then obviously theyre being charged. start with the easiest,,blown fuse,,bad connection,,lose or broken wire.

If you have one of those red, circular battery switches, that's probably your problem. You can loose a lot of juice in those due to their poor design and promising ability to corrode.
Use a multi-meter to test amperes, voltage and resistance in those switched mains in front and behind the switch. If any of those drop a substantial amount, upgrade your switch.
The other area to check is the accessory leads on your key ignition. It's easy to miswire those puppies. Make sure you have good continuity from there to the devices.
BTW - Do you have to 'jump' your engines to start them? You mentioned the batteries won't charge.

rectifier, or alternator problem, possible short, turn one thing off each time you go out, and see if it stops, then thats the power draw that is the problem
