- 1984 Marine Trader 40 Sundeck Trawlet
Can anyone explain what the dangers or risks are of leaving my boat's ten 12V batteries onboard during the winter?
I had hoped to be able to store my "new" 1984 MT 40 Sundeck Trawler in an inside heated facility this winter, but the two marinas on the Hudson River, just south of Albany, NY, offer only inside unheated or outside winter storage.
Since I live in Chicago, there's no practical way for me to remove them, bring them home with me, and keep them in my garage or basement over the winter.
I don't know if either of the two marinas could remove and store them in an inside heated area for me either. Nor do I know if there's any way for me to run an electric extension cord to the boat in their outside storage yard to power a trickle charger or small low-powered heater during the winter.
Thanks.
