Hiya,

I had the same issue with my GPS when I would be on the water for a few days. The amount of time I spent running the big motor as compared to the GPS being on all day was not enough to keep the battery at fully charged

What I did was replace the starting battery with a dual purpose battery (I went with a stowaway) which can be used as a deep cycle and starting battery. Solved my problem and it has not been an issue since. I still need to make sure I charge the battery, but I no longer have the issue you are experiencing currently.
