Expected current draw should be?

FIRST OF ALL - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

I have never been happy with battery behavior in my 2011 Greyhawk 31DS, although some of the problems may be my fault. I recently replaced a type 29 wet cell marine battery with a Trojan 24AGM true deep cycle battery (the 27agm was too large to fit). I fully charged the new battery and installed it. Taking my trusty Fluke multimeter I measured current draw with the battery cut-off active, and the current was 3 milliamps (.003 amps) which seemed OK. When I then pressed the cut-off switch, the current was somewhat variable, starting at around 2.25 amps and stabilizing after about a minute around 2.5 amps. This seems like a heck of a large draw with no lights, fans, frig, or anything else I can think of turned on.
I hope to hear from some of you about whether this is a reasonable draw or not. If not I plan to start pulling 6V fuses to try and find out what is causing the load.

You have the coil in the 12v relay, the LP detector, the electronics in the converter just to mention a few. Also is your antenna amp or off?

Here is typical 30AMP Power Distribution Plan - Maybe something here will trigger some thoughts on what might draining parasitic type drains... I see 1-2AMPs from parasitic drains with my 30AMP setup all the time. Comes and goes.

Stereo, CO and smoke detector will be drawing some. I have 2 thermostats that are electronic and will consume as well. Does the water heater have a paracitic use as well?
