I just bought a new AR240 (2020). Is there a way to keep the speakers on when the boat is off.

All good advice here. But you should switch to number 2 battery if sitting and listening to music. The amount of time depends on your setup (number of speakers and amps) and how loud they're playing.Do the speakers draw a lot of the battery ? Will a few hours on the sandbar Playing music kill my battery ?
So stock batteries and 4 JL speakers wired to the stock radio?? Would that be sufficient to run for a few hours every now and then? Boat is at a high and dry so an on board battery charger wouldn’t be feasible. I guess I can take both batteries home every other weekend and hook them up to my battery tender.
I carry something similar to this. We've jump started a jetski 6 times one day last summer. If I didn't have this. I would have been towing him back in to shore.Amazon.com: DBPOWER 800A 18000mAh Portable Car Jump Starter (up to 7.2L Gas, 5.5L Diesel Engine) Battery Booster with Smart Charging Port (Black/Red): Automotive

i struggled with this also, and i may be doing it wrong...but when i want to kill engines and keep music playing...i turn one engine off with the key, then turn that key back to 'on' position without starting it...then kill the other engine with the key and leave it 'off'. one key is 'on', one key is 'off' and the connext screen (and music) never turns off.I just bought a new AR240 (2020).
