YOu can leave your batteries in the boat as long as they are fully charged. In cold weather batteries discharge very slow. They discharge faster in warmer weather. I have left mine in the boat, charged and never had an issue.. That is as long as the water levels are where they should be. What you may want to do however is unhook or put a master switch in place that cuts off the batteries to anything that is connected. Many items have a parasitic drain. I just flip my master switch and charge the batteries.

I also don't fill my tank. Its a waste of good gas. Gas degrades over time. I run mine down and use Seafoam or startron to stabilize. I don't fog either. I change the lower unit oil, charge the batteries, clean everything up.. (ie water, dirt, etc..) and put it to bed.
