If not, how in the world do you keep them from draining?

I bring mine inside, because I have to :Doh: (I live in an apt complex, and the boat is 100yds away).
But, if you can reach them with a charger/extension cord ... charging them up to full charge, at least once/twice a month, would allow you to leave them in the boat/outside. But, if there's even the slightest chance that they could freeze ... I'd bring them in and charge them up once a month. :twocents

I have on-board charger. Stays plugged in at all times when off the water.
Like feelay..I have an on board charger..Minkota digital and leave them plugged in and charged.
I live in Indiana where it gets COLD during the winter. I winterize my boat and keep a battery charger/maintainer on my batteries in the garage.
