Finally got a chance to update
So spoke to four winns this afternoon
Boat was delivered back in 95 with an interstate group 29 with at least 800 CCAs and was dual purpose (found out that most deep cycles are dual purpose)
So battery on the boat is way under powered.
Also not to use a gel or agm type (like optima)

Probably will go to Walmart and get the everstart maxx group 29 (Johnson controls makes both everstart and interstate) $99 ant two year warranty vs interstate at $129 or so with only one year warrenty

Definitely don't have a leak and no draw I do have a switch that shuts everything off but the bilge and was checked along with making sure the the bilge is not stuck on

Also I run a solar battery trickle charger on the battery which was hooked up in May on it
Can't speak for the winter purchased in May
