Since my boat came with 2 batteries, and this is similar to most of the
smaller cruisers I have seen, how do most people handle the refrigerator
at night, do they only keep it on when the engine is running?

Without a generator, a cooler and lotsa ice is your best bet. A refer
will kill a group 24 or 27 battery in about 4-6 hours.

We never had a problem running a refrigerator while away from shorepower
overnight. But the boat had 3 group 31 deep cycle batteries though.
