I'm looking at renting a slip to use for the summer and all the covered ones with lifts on the lake that is closest to me are at people's homes and not for rent, the only ones for rent are open (photo attached) and it'll cost $3 per linear foot ($72). Question is...can I leave it in the water and just take the battery with me to charge it? or does the boat need to be pulled out so that the engine isn't taking water and eventually sink my boat? Storage area is in the rear aspect of the pic.

I used to alternate my batteries. Left one for the bilge pump while I charged the other. A guy in the slip next to me used a car battery for his bilge pump and pulled both his marine batteries. Nothing worse than hitting the key after drifting and hearing that deafening silence!
