I guess it's worth checking almost anything to resolve the problem of a dead
battery: I want my boat ready to go at the first click of the key in the
ignition!

=How do I find what's draining the power on my battery?

I saw the phrase "VHF Radio" in your post, and it brought to mind a
service experience of many years back.

Customer was complaining that his battery was being drained every week
(weekend user). Checked with ammeter at batt terminal, and yes, there
was a load. Small, but still a load.

Turned out to be memory for an old VHF radio he had installed. Even
when off, unit consumed power.

I think newer units are designed somewhat better.

Worth a check?
