Not really, all batteries and charger are very accessible and use wing nuts to attach onboard charger. I take EVERYTHING out of my boat in the winter then never have to worry about anything (mice, moisture, rust, theft, whatev). I live in town with my boat parked in driveway, so I don't keep much in there anyway to avoid theft. A little work gives me lots of peace of mind.


If it works for you that's all that matters. But isn't your charger mounted in the boat?

The idea of heaving three batteries out of my boat plus taking off the charger is not something I'd look forward to doing at all! Besides, I run my out boards for a few minutes when we get the January thaw and maybe again some time in Feb. That way I never really have to *winterize*.


It sounds more like removing the batteries is more of a theft deterrent than anything. I've been leaving the batteries in my boat since the late 1980s with no problems, also pull my boat out and start it up a couple times in the winter as well.
