Jumpering as Bob suggests shoud work as a long term storage solution. Go to a boating parts store like West Marine (the Camping World of boating) and buy a 12-18" jumper and hook it up between the two battery systems, ie across the solenoid.

I don’t intend to leave it in 24/7. It sits in my yard, so I can just leave it on during the day - once a week. The 200 watts of solar panels keeps the two AGM batteries full all the time, so I don’t think they would have any problem topping up the engine battery - during sunny daylight in south Florida.
Thanks for the thoughts.
