I identified the two orange wires they are from ECM computor for engines and should always be hot. Please let me know how you make out with Carbon alarms. Thanks

Disconnected Carbon alarms and it resolved most of drain issue. House batteries still drained to 9+ volts after sitting two weeks in dry dock with switch off-this used to be the case in less than 24 hours. I will replace hard wired alarms with new ones with internal batteries-like the smoke alarm. Still need to put a amp meter in series at the battery feed to isolate and determine the remaining drain.
