Many, many years ago I had a buddy leave his in his boat's overstuffed storage compartment. Can't remember if he said it rained or was really humid, but they deployed & busted the lid off the storage compartment. (he had a high dollar Bass boat)

So, if you plan on leaving them in the boat, just be sure there's plenty of room for them to inflate should they happen to do so.
