so I'm having to keep my boat in storage for a couple months. I fully charged the cranking and the 3 trolling batteries before I put in storage a week ago. I got it out tonight, the trolling batteries were still 100%, the cranking battery was 60%.
when I charged and then in storage I had the main and trolling motor switch off.
is this normal to have that much of a parasitic drain on the cranking battery?
boat is a 2011 520. thanks!

if by main switch you mean battery cut off switch then your battery might be getting weak but if you have a radio or an auto bilge pump they might be draining it
marine mechanic at lake tyler if you need any work done

Rangers have a seperate main breaker switch but it does not cut off power to the ECU on the outboard. You need a battery disconnect, disconnect one post on the battery or leave a trickle charger on the main battery.

Do you have a power pole? They will drain the batts. if not wired to a cut off switch.
