SOOOO true.
But as to the battery question, it's all about what you feel is an acceptable risk. Fact is, if it were me, I'd be more worried about someone taking my engine than some batteries. An outboard is held on by 4 bolts, and I remember vividly a news story some years ago where these guys would back a tow truck up to the back of a boat, hook the engine and be gone in less than 10 minutes. Only reason they got caught was some cop that was also a boater saw them going down the road at 3am with an engine on the back, knew there were thefts going on, got suspicious and pulled them over. My point is, if you're going to worry, take the batteries inside, sit them on a wooden board and put a float charger on them. That way they are safe, they are charged, and you'll have peace of mind.
