I've replaced the battery two times in the last year. Found I had a bad alternator and replaced it at the time of the second battery. Now I find the battery is low again!!!??? Voltage reads at 11.98. Any ideas where I might be having a electrical bleed?

Does this model use an external regulator?

Have you cleaned the ground / chassie connections for the battery cable/strap?

Charge wire from the alternator good and not frayed or broken?

No, it does not have external regulator.
I assume you are referring to the ground from the negative battery post. It looks to be in good shape including where it attached to the chassie.
Charge wire looks good from the alternator.
