My thoughts exactly. I have a 2020 242SE with solar panel and the boat lives on a mooring all season. While slow, the panel kept the batteries charged while leaving the house on all season, and bilge pumping after rains. Overall, I was fairly impressed. It also managed to keep the batteries topped up while at anchor on a sunny day. Again, slow, but did the job.
That's awesome to hear that the solar panel was able to keep things topped off under those conditions. Out of curiosity, why did you leave the house switch on all season?

Safety - Supposedly the Bilge runs off of the house switch, though I have seen evidence to the contrary. I'm considering filling the bilge with water while it's on the trailer to see if I can prove this out one way or another in the next week or two.

no need, really. The bilge does run off the house switch, but only for a couple of model years, 2016-2018 I believe. Now they are all direct to battery. Always good to verify operation, but your 2020 should not require the house switch to be on in order for the bilge to function.

Excellent. We didn't have any issues leaving the house battery on for literally 5 months, but once I verify pump operation, I'll feel better about leaving it off!

Ugh, :facepalm: I can’t believe I missed deals on NOCO chargers! I’ve been spending the last few days trying to pick the one I want.

Missed out on Wyze cameras for $10. You had to place the order with Alexa to get the price. But I got the Slickdeal alert this morning and it was too late. Back to $25.98

I picked up some G2 stainless boat buckles for $80. That was their price before covid jacked prices up over $100. So, I was able to get them back to their original price.
