I think you'll find your deck only draws milliamperes of power to maintain the memory. I'd hook it up to the house battery and keep an eye on it.

I like to think I did a pretty neat install. I removed the cross member at the top of the nav station, cut a hole in it for the deck and reassembled. It looks "factory", you know, if they installed disco light stereos back in 1980. What is it with the current manufacturers making all of the car stereos ugly as sin these days? Anyway, I digress.. How many of you keep the yellow (constant 12V) hooked up to the battery at all times? The reason I ask is not because of the radio stations .. it's because it's a bluetooth deck and when you cut power to it entirely it forgets all the settings and that's a pain in the ass to do every time. Anyway, I can conveniently stream music from my phone and have it play in the cockpit or cabin or both .. it's pretty sweet. Once I recover from the spring spend I'll be installing a 100 Watt solar panel on top of the bimini .. but for now, I'm on a mooring and I don't want to kill my battery.
