All of what you report is typical.
Your not using the battery shut-off is not, however.
As for why this incident occurred only now, I can't say.
So as to prevent mistakes, I create a checklist/routine to use the boat and to one to put it away. I follow it closely.
Change your routine to add turning on master power when you get in the boat and turn it off when exiting the boat.
