If your batteries are at full charge, there is no reason to take them out. They will not freeze if they are fully charged. They will also not self discharge in the cold, like they will do if they are brought into your nice warm and cozy basement. If you have a newer motor that is direct injected, that may have some drain, so it is best to either keep the onboard charger plugged in, or disconnect the the cables from the positive post. My boat is kept in my garage, and I leave it plugged in all the time.
