Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

Can't get my head round that, so you get moored up ready to leave the boat , and then leave stuff turned on? Batteries get very tired of pushing electrons around eventually when the shore power trips...

Fair point in general, but in this case there's no mention of a need, just a simple request with please in the title to think of others.

Very unlikely to have much effect by the looks of things. ...
