I'm no expert on this but IIRC charging a battery can build up explosive
fumes. I would expect those to disperse in a car battery but in a boat
could collect in the bilge and cause a really dangerous condition.

Anyone?

With there being on-board chargers, I wouldn't think that would be an
issue?

Also, does an outboard motor charge the battery while it's running?
