battery on or off?

Should you leave your battery on when connected to shore power?

I only turn my batteries off during the winter when I won't be getting on the boat for months.

I wish I was in northern Florida....I'm a 6 to 7 hr drive to Jacksonville, that would make my drive time to the keys a bring my own boat drivable distance.  

There's a major hwy that connects Atlanta to Charlotte, I'm halfway between the two.  


Our Halloween is either t shirt and jeans or winter jackets.  There's no in-between.
