I just picked up my new boat and am wondering what is the recommended position for the battery switches.

Obviously underway House and Start to on with Emer Parallel off but what about when parked and up on a lift? I am thinking House on with both of the others off for short periods of say up to a week with all switches off for longer times.

Will the solar trickle charger keep the house battery topped off? Will the cockpit drain while on a lift?

Thanks

Dear Scoop.
I too have a 2018 Limited SE.
I have had that same question in mind.
I just searched on this forum and came across this title
DVSR and E-Series Solar Panel Questions and answers
I dont know if you have already come across that thread but it answered my question.
