  It appears something is draining my battery. I take my 34 out for a spin once every couple of weeks, but it is hard to start. Took the battery out and put it on a trickle charger. Took a couple days charging then finally turned green to keep the battery charged. Any ideas what could be draining the battery?

  Could be like my 33 , brand new optima 6v, started great, then left the battery isolator on AND the interior light for 3 weeks, Battery now toast.

  I have had the "cutout" on top of the generator stick and would drain the battery. You might check it.

Good luck!

  Had same issue. Turned out to be broken brake pedal spring which caused the brake lights to be on intermediately.
