We have a 2015 270 SLX.  Has shore power with battery charger.  Have a frig.  How do I keep it cold when parked? Electrical panel has the Main breaker, and one for the battery charger.  There is a place for accessories but no breaker.  Do I leave the battery switched to on or both with the shore power plugged in?

If two power cords, figure out which one powers the battery charger. Mine is now marked on the boat and on the cord.

With boat plugged and powered in it is fine to leave batteries on while unattended.

The 'fridge is happy running off of battery power (topped by charger) or off of shore power.

The empty accessories breaker position permits future expansion for adding additional stuff. A good rule of thumb is to stop adding stuff, prior to the boat sinking because of all that added mass.

You first need to know if your fridge is dual power or single…DC only or AC/DC auto switching. But Wingless is right on .
