After I moved the hot wire to the fuse block that has the power draining black module to the switched side of the master switch I have not had any issues. I keep the battery connected and it is not drained when I head out.

Good info about waiting one minute after ignition off to turn off battery.

I purchased the boat in Cincinnati and took it to Wavetech Powersports in Fort Myers this spring after I created a fault and the engines would not go into gear.

Per instructions from Cinci dealer I had moved all the wires to the switched side of the master but I missed one causing the fault that would not clear (before I had CanDoo). Wavetech rewired the switch back to OEM and would not honor the warranty. They said nothing was wrong with my boat. Of course the battery was dead within a week even with the master off. I have not returned.

Do you know which wire you didn't move to the master switch & remember what fault it was causing you?

I took the boat in because I had a "reverse module fault". Engines would run, but boat would not shift into forward or reverse. I made sure the battery was fully charged because I read low voltage could cause that fault.
