Edd Everyone at our club, including us, leaves their shore power and charger on.. I always shut down the DC power when off the boat,,except when we have provisioned the boat for cruising.
There can be issues with poorly grounded boats creating some sort of charge that wreaks havoc with zincs and is potentially dangerous. But one of our members who understands this stuff checks the slips periodically and disconnects any leaky boats until they fix the issue.
