We have a 2019 R-29 CB and it's on a lift, at a pier on shore power (generally). Sometimes we'll get down to the boat and the batteries will be low, even though it's exposed in the sun and (generally) on shore power, unless the power goes out and a reset is required. Any ideas why the house batteries are being run low in this circumstance? There isn't much static electrical load, generally just the main fridge and whatever draw from the bilge pumps running. Thank you!

Have you replaced the batteries already?
Have you seen any similar problems while on anchor with these batteries? Or are you typically cruising or at the marina?

I have the same boat. When the power is first hooked up (or if it's turned off at the dock and then on again) the little boxes in the starboard cockpit cubby need to be 'reset'. RT told me they used these controllers for 2019 modals due to a supply issue. So, if the shore power cuts out and is not 'reset' - then leaving the main fridge on 24/7 might cause the battery to drop.
My boat is on a mooring. I turn the battery switches off and all remains fully charged no matter how long it sits.
