Hey gang,
In my new 190 Sport, I had them install a dual battery system with the selector switch. I picked up the boat about 3 weeks ago, I store it outside behind my garage, and currently have the battery switch in the OFF position.
Now I know, that the boat still pulls a little from the batteries, for things like the stereo memory, bilge pump, etc - essential things that the OFF switch does not kill.
So is this good enough to keep enough charge on those batteries until I go boating here in about 6 weeks?
What do you guys do, for your batteries when your boat is put away for the winter?
I have a battery charger, it is a Schumaker 2/10 amp charger.

Just curious what others do for their batteries in the off season?
Thanks for any tips,
