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.
