Do you need a battery case

Do you need a battery case in a small jon boat in Georgia in a situation where you remove the battery each time the boat is used?

Thanks for your response.

You don't have to have one in MS

I would just get one. Just to be safe. You can usually find them cheap at Wal-Mart

I have to agree with safty, I would also secure it to the boat.

I like to keep mine covered incase of rain, if it doesn't get wet than there's less chance the post will start to corrode.

Don't know where ur at. But in Wis. its law. We was on a fishing trip from Indiana and I was stoped by a DNR Officier and warned, so we had to go by one.

If youve ever seen one overheat and exploid then there will be no other consideration but to have one. It can scar you for life!! 10 bucks aint worth the chance.

Makes the battery easy to carry, too.
