Re: Battery draw down
If your not opposed to installing a battery shut off switch this might solve the problems however be sure to connect the bilge pump at the battery (fused) if the boats in the water. Voltage could be leaking most anywhere, solonoid, fuse panel, light switch or even main feeder wire with cracked insulation. Be sure to get the one you need (one or two battery) and don't buy the cheapest one.

Re: Battery draw down
I need a switch anyway, i was just hoping to have a 2 battery set up. I've only owned the boat 16 years so you can see how fast i get things done. I've narrowed the drain down to one of the two sets of red wires that comes off of the hot side of the solenoid switch. They go under the plate on the back of the block. I don't know what they do, but one set is drawing constant juice. I'll try to do some more investigating

Re: Battery draw down
might have found the culprit, bad float switch for the bilge pump. wire was corroded off at the base & laying in a puddle of water in the bilge. i hooked the battery to the two leads from the motor and will let it set overnight. hope this is it, cheaper than a volt reg.
