Our 2021 Regal XO is draining the 2-cabin batteries, all panel board switches turned off, both battery switches turned off, any idea what would drain the 2-cabin batteries?

A few questions, thoughts:
1) do you not plug into shore power and leave the battery charger on when you leave your boat? Why not?
2) do you have a cockpit fridge? These are wired strangely and there is no way to shut them off unless you reach into the fridge and turn it off that way.
3) how old are your batteries?
4) there is an electronics switch at the helm, is it off?
5) how long does it take for the batteries to drain down?

On our boat, a couple of things. We used to leave cranking battery switches on but after a loss of shore power, the cranking batteries were drained as engine always draws some current. It killed the house battery also which shouldn’t have happened. One other thing is that there’s stuff wire direct to battery so even if you turn off battery switches, usually bilge pumps, possibly CO detector and a few other things aren’t disconnected, even with battery switch off.

Thanks for the replies, New boat less than one year old, boat is in dry storage on rack when not in use, winterized for now, both refrigerators turned off, all switches turned off, batteries will drain over 2-week time, have dealer looking into it.

Are you charging the house batteries before you put the boat in dry storage?
