Cost is not the issue, difficulty is. Unless you take your batteries
off the boat (also overkill in my experience), then you have to go out
to the boatyard, run extension cords, get under the winter cover, etc.
When we lived north I eventually came to the conclusion that none of
that was really necessary. This was somewhat influenced by ownership
of a boat that had 160 pound 8D batteries. :-)



I don't find it difficult. I simply remove the batteries before
shrinkwrapping and bring them home. That's one of the advantages of owning
boats where critical systems and subsystems are designed for easy access
and maintenance.


Then you would *love* the design and layout of the Navigator's engine room
space.
