Subject: RE: Batteries and winter

I bought an AGM this spring for my starting battery. I knew this was going to stay in the boat. I have a two year old WallyWorld deep cycle in the bow. I WAS planning on removing it this fall for basement storage. Reading this changes everything. I may leaving the boat within range of the outlet to keep it plugged in over the winter. Why wont they discharge??? The deep cycle I'm not so concerned with as I may change it out anyway. ( and the Honda dealer asked why I would want to remove the motor from the boat. Pull the rope a few times to expell any water that might be in there and I am good to go. I use Stabil all the time. What WOULD the cold hurt inside an outboard? Aren't there seals that could crack??) Sorry, I ramble...
