Question Flat Battery

HAVE A BRAND NEW MOTOR AND MINN KOTA WITH NEW BATTERIES

THEY RUN OFF SEPARATE BATTERIES AND THE KOTA BATTERY HAS A SWITCH TO TURN OFF SO IT DOES'NT DRAW FROM THE MAIN BATTERY

GOT STUCK ON THE RIVER A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AS THE MAIN BATTERY WAS DEAD AFTER STARTING FIRST TIME WHEN I LAUNCHED

ANY IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS AS IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES WHICH IT SHOULD'NT DO ON A NEW BOAT

HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO LOOK AT

It sounds like its your main battery that is going flat?? NOt sure.

But obvously something is still on or ssomthing very small drawing current..

What boat is it and do you have a battery switch between the Kota battery and the main battery??

I really like it all beeing 2 complete seperate circuits,

BOAT IS A 435 HORNET TROPHY

YES THE KOTA DOES HAVE A SEPARATE SWITCH TO THE MAIN ENGINE SO I CAN SWITCH IT'S BATTERY OFF
