For those of you that keep your boat hooked up on shore power, what breakers do you leave on while away from the boat?

The only AC breakers I turn off are the stove and hot water heater. Everything else is on. I turn all DC breakers off.

I leave the inverter, AC, fridg/freezer, and my batteries switched on. Do I need to leave my batteries on?

I leave outlets/lights, microwave (for the clock) and battery charger. Occasionally I'll leave the air conditioner on depending on weather and when I'll be back.

I turn off the water heater, microwave, washer / dryer, water pumps, and heads - evrything else stays on.
Also turn off the dockside water supply

All AC breakers on except water heater, stove and microwave
All DC breakers off except FWD and AFT lighting
Leave A/C on 80 all summer and Heat on 55 all winter.
HVAC fans on continuous to keep air moving and moisture to a minimum.

Electric comes with the slip, so we turn off the head system, water heater, and stove. Water pumps are off in the slip anyways.

Why do so many of you turn off the water heater?

We do in the event of a thermostat failure, I don't want it to boil off.

It takes less than an hour for it to heat up. I just replaced the thermostat on my Attwood, and a friend has done in three times now. Both Attwood 6 gallons. Not a big deal, but more of a PITA to get to and replace.
