Default Winter battery removal

wrote:
Popular widsom has it that the batteries should be removed from the
boat before winteer storage. The boat will be stored outside, here in
Montreal,.

Question is, why can the batteries not be left in the boat if they are
fully charged before the winter and charged again in the spring?

Many thanks in advance

From what I've read in the past...the batteries should be kept from
freezing and trickle charged once a month when idled.
I'd bet over your 4 month winter the battery would discharge and freeze
if just left outside. The question is...do you want a reliable battery
to use in the spring?
