I have never had a problem just disconnecting the batteries on my
boat
(fully charged) and leaving them in place during the winter lay-up.
I have bought 4 batteries in 4 years now.

The battery will not be strong enough to start the PWC (even when the
battery charge ways the battery is full).
What did you previously do with the battery over the winter lay-up?
Batteries will self discharge over the winter, especially in colder
areas. A discharged battery will have definitely have a shortened life.

When I had a trailered boat, I was told to bring the battery home to
keep it in the basement and keep a trickle charger on it. Many people
who don't want to bring the battery home, will use a solar panel trickle
charger to keep the battery fully charged.
As I said before, I never had a problem with this technique. Besides, as
you know, you are the last person I would take any sort of advice from.
Wow. "Reggie" claims to have had a "trailered boat." Right.

He gets confused at times. He once said he had a bubble boat and recently
claimed to own a houseboat. When you lie it is easy to get caught up in
them.



Dennis, Please show me a post where I said I owned a houseboat?
