Thanks.....we have few periods of below freezing weather or at least,
this year we have had few periods...I am near Dallas, and though it
has been near 32 a number of times, below freezing has been limited
to no more than 9 or 10 nights....The average last freeze here is
the 15th of March, so the boat is going back on the lift next week...
if it starts when I put it in the water at the marina...will probably
put it on charge for a day or so before hand, just to be sure...

I have had my boat sitting on the trailer since late November.
Yesterday, I decided it was nice enough to check it out...I turned
the key and got the familiar sound, and was able to raise the motor
to normal position.

My question is: Is it necessary for me to charge the battery or will
running it up and down the lake for an hour or two be enough to charge
it to sit? I only use it once or twice a week normally.

It's a bit late now...but I would have taken the battery indoors and topped
it up with my battery charger once a month.
That is supposed to make the battery live a longer life.
(note: we have prolonged periods of below freezing weather)
