Hello Fellow Boaters,
I have a Trophy 1802 with a 115 Mercury 4 stroke and I'm having a problem with my battery draining when not in use. I had the boat for 2.5 years before this problem started. The only items drawing power when it sits in my driveway is the carbon monoxide detector, the bow bilge pump in the cuddy and the stern bilge pump. I remove all other devices. I take the drain plug out so water never accumulates to set off the automatic bilges. If i turn off the battery there's no problem, but if I forget to turn it off, the battery is drained enough that after four or five days it won't turn the motor over. Any suggestions? Thanks
