Hey guys,
I have been dealing with a parasitic current draw on my battery for years now and I need to find the cause. The boat is kept on the trailer and stored covered and typically used weekends. If the boat sits without being started during the week, by the following weekend the battery is dead. Its not the battery as I have replaced it multiple times and typically buy a new once each year.
I have noticed that the battery switch in the rear storage does not kill the radio or blower circuits. Is this by design? Any ideas on what could be causing the draw or how to start testing for it? The charging system tests check out an I have never had an issue on the lake when anchoring. This only happens in storage.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
