I've done winterize my motor. I just disconnected battery cables, and leave them obn boat outside.
Do you think cold weatehr will hurt battery durng winter?
Most marinas that store customers boats for the winter outside leave the batteries in the boat. We do were I work. Just remeber to charge all batteries up completely before you store it. A battery that has little or no charge may freez and be ruined.
Hope this helps
Cheers

I bring all 3 of my batteries into the basement and keep the 2 deep cycle's on a trickle charge all winter. Once a month I charge the cranking battery. My deep cycles are both 4 years old and going just as strong as the day I bought them. They have always been stored indoors in the winter.
I would also rather leave them inside in a cool location charging them monthly. Too cold or hot are hardest on batteries. However when cold they loose there charge the least.
I had a deep cycle battery for 7 years and was still running well when I sold the boat last year. The starting battery was 5 years old. They were both the old fashioned style you had to add water to[distilled ONLY]....Larry
As JP said, I was told by a marina to fully charge the battery and leave on the boat,thats what I have done these past two winters and have had no problems with them at all.
