So battery on the boat is way under powered.
Also not to use a gel or agm type (like optima)
Probably will go to Walmart and get the everstart maxx group 29 (Johnson controls makes both everstart and interstate) $99 ant two year warranty vs interstate at $129 or so with only one year warrenty
Definitely don't have a leak and no draw I do have a switch that shuts everything off but the bilge and was checked along with making sure the the bilge is not stuck on
Also I run a solar battery trickle charger on the battery which was hooked up in May on it
Can't speak for the winter purchased in May

I've done it all over the years including spending the ridiculous money on an Optima AGM. I have the best luck with the Walmart EVERSTART Maxx battery. (I'm not a Walmart guy)
