Hiya,

I would have your charging system checked on the engine itself. If the charging system on the engine is going bad, I could see the potential of the battery running down a bit quicker than you might normally see...whether it is drawing power when not in use for some reason, or you have enough electronics in use that after some time on the water, the battery is just running low.

This could be a potential issue, especially if it is a starting battery and not a dual purpose or deep cycle, as the starter battery is designed to have quicker discharge and quicker recharge cycles.

Something more to check at least...

Steve
