So just discovered anchoring overnight I’ll have leave both batteries on 2018 242 x..... any idea if the drain will kill both batteries before morning? Forgot my jumpstarter of course. Tried just having house battery on but start alarm keeps going off. Worse case scenario sea tow gives me a Jump in morning lol

Also any way to turn connext screen off to save battery?

If it's the newer LED one I don't think the current draw would be enough to run down the battery overnight. People have tested leaving the bulge pump on to cycle for days and it did not run it down but who knows. Sorry I don't have connext so I'm of now help if there is a way to turn off the display but maybe some other Connext owners will chime in.

Install a LED bulb and it will run for weeks before going dead.

The newer boats come with LED already, or should at least. My 2016 19' came with all LED nav, interior and anchor light.
