You can buy a remote controlled kill switch.
Some think I'm nuts but over 14 years on my 2010 Yamaha I have only twice replaced my dead 12v battery with a marine battery from Sams. Same size and capacity and was actually cheaper. They are better suited for the deeper discharge and recharge they experience on a golf cart. I'm also a snowbird.

Make sure you are aware of the total load when doing this, there are 2 potential problems. First, excessive voltage drop due to the additional load can cause the battery to overcharge (see my post in the DIY and Golf cart areas on this). Second it is possible to cause the MAIN fuse to blow due to the additional load, I have personally seen this in 2 cases. I use separate feeds to additional loads, and install relays off the ignition switch to eliminate these concerns.
