Default 05 Hurricane 198RE/Honda 135 Outboard-Battery Dying while sitting?

Hi all
I have twice now had a problem with the battery in my 198RE w/Honda 135hp
outboard dying. I use it on the weekends where i camp at,I know nothing was
left on.I charged it one saturday,then next weekend when i put it in the
water and tried to start it,it was dead. I know that nothing was left on, do
marine batteries just go bad like this sometimes? Once i hooked it up to a
starter battery supplied by the boat launch i was at,it started and worked
fine. I brought it home last weekend to get it tested which i will do
tomorrow,and it has 11.9 volts right now.

What do you all think?
