Any thoughts...?
No reason to remove your battery from the boat. Simply charge fully at seasons end and remove the negative cable. Done! Been doing it this way for as long as I can remember without any issues...The rate of discharge on newer batteries during storage after being fully charged especially AGM batteries is negligible at best so don't kill your back yanking them out...
