It's a power boat with about 4 ft of overhead. I don't have anything to
attach to on the overhead.

Then I suggest you drill a hole in the overhead and install a
watertight nut and bolt that can be replaced with an eye bolt to be
used for hoisting. A strong flat plate topsides, 3" square, will
enable a rubber seal to be tightened down when not hoisting the guts
out of your boat. you might want to give consideration to the
eventual neccessity to lift out the engine. Why do anything by halves?

Or, bolt up a collapsible hoisting frame from old bed irons which
you can get for free at the dump.

It's that or tunnel under the boat and drop the batteries down;-)

Anything is better than wounding your back again, eh? Been there
done that, sold tee shirts, spent the money.

Of course you could possibly leave the batteries where they are,
disconnect them, and charge them once or twice over winter.

You will eventually have to figure out how to exchange them, non?

Hey! Just like submarines! Cut a big hole in the hull and lift the
depleted reactor core out...put in another one from refurb and weld the
hole back up for another 20 years.

Worked for us....(c;
