    I leave in.  I have a few projects lined up so I'll be using the lights and stereo for entrainment while I do a valve adjustment, replace the gimball bearing etc.  

    I have power at the garage so the shore power is usually always on.

    Check with your insurance company. You may have to remove to be fully decommissioned.

    I remove mine and keep them on trickle charge for the winter. Cold temperatures can degrade the batteries, figured this will help longevity.

    Toolmaker312 nice to see another Lake Shelbyville boater here. I was taught that a fully charged battery will not freeze. That being said we keep our 232 in our unheated pole barn & typically take out battery, charge & put in house for the winter.

    If you leave in, disconnect the blacks

    Disconnecting makes it annoying to close the hatch... what's the benefit?

    Some storage place's require it. Stops any drain on the batteries. If your shore pwer is hooked up and battery changer on you shpuld be able to close hatch.

    Again most insurance policies require removal. You really should check with them.

    @reneechris14 , with shore power on, charger on and batteries removed, the hatch should close? That’s good to know if yes.

    No shore where it is dry docked and Checked with insurance and they said check manuals. I am leaning towards leaving them in and try to charge occasionally. Solar chargers any good?
