Funny, every time I've jump-started a vehicle, I rev the motor & the amp gauge climbs......
Go to the parts store, get a continuous use solenoid (like on a golf-cart) for your boat batteries, that way it's only drawing power when the key is on & motor running......same thing the guy in the link is doing. :wink:

PS- Unrelated, but I run a Ford Solenoid mounted on my Chevy trucks inner fender. I run hedders and Chevys are notorious for heat-sink in the solenoid.....mine's never failed me.
The battery that came with my boat was bought on 5/2007 from Walmart, but it now leaks fluid when it is under charge and when it is under load being used.
