Now, to once again keep things on-topic, does anyone know if any
permanent damage will be done to my batteries if they're simply left

I know. But I won't tell you unless you put your panties back on your
head.

Ok, but just this once. Now, spill.



You can leave them in the boat, but you should check their charge every
couple of weeks and keep them charged up. I would disconnect them, just
because I've always done that. In fact, I have the batteries from my
Parker in my basement right now, cleaned up, charged up, and sitting on
a shelf.

My problem is the boat is already shrink-wrapped and the batteries are
inaccessible. I wanted to take them out first, but the marina is a bit
more efficient than I figured. If they remain connected and I'm unable
to check and refresh their charge, will I be unable to charge them come
spring?
