I have finally started my spring commission and I have a potential problem that just started as I put her on the hard last fall. I had left the battery switches on over night(as I always do) and came back the next day to not being able to open engine hatch. So I just winterized and decided to deal with it now. I plugged the Promariner charger in and all 3 batteries are now up and charged. But when it is on float charge I am still seeing 1amp of juice being consumed. I turned the breaker switch for the battery charger off and the amp gauge(on my remote monitor) went to 0. Breaker back on, 1amp again. I am going to put my meter on it and see what is the exact reading, but does this sound normal to you guys? I can't figure out why the charger is consuming 12volt power. Last season I could leave the main battery switches on while we were on the hook, etc. and no problems. Normal consumption, etc. I just may need to dig into this more but wanted to run it by the "experts" first to get some idea's. Thanks
