Makes sense to me to take a few seconds to flip off the breakers. Usually
the only ones that I leave on are the AC Fridge and DC Fridge (as backup in
case the AC fails). Unless, of course, the fridge is empty and then those go
off too.
The goal is to minimize or eliminate battery drain so that the bilge pumps
can get all they want should that become necessary.
