I’ve hauled my 505 for the winter. After discussions with my dealer we’ve agreed to power down the vessel (all battery switches off) and intermittently connect the batteries to a trickle charger. The combiner should keep everything topped up. 

I’m thinking I should pull the fuses for electronics that are directly linked to the battery-

Radio and Fusion stereo
Bilge pump
Shower sump pumps 
Interior cabin lights by companionway steps

Anything else likely to have a phantom draw of current I’m missing from this list?

If you have them,  Bow and Stern thruster control fuse.     The switch at the batteries only controls the thruster motor, not the actuator/arm.   It will take current otherwise.

I always disconnect the whole system at the minus bar.  AGM's only loose 0.6-0.8 V ober 5 months.
My new LiFePo should loose even less.

I also disconnect the connection from the negative battery to the battery monitor shunt, but I then reconnect the solar direct to the battery so that keeps them topped up.  However I didn't have solar for the first 3 winters and the AGM batteries were perfect after an 8 month layup at Greifswald.
