In a little bit different situation ....
but, still pulled them off and stored inside. I'm an apt dweller, and when I had a boat, I had to bring in DF - TM - all my gear - prop - and battery !! (boat was parked in apt parking lot).
When using my buddy's boat (with or without him) ... DF comes off for the ride to and from the lake (same as I did for my own boats). I always heard that road travel vibrations were not good for DF's. And his boat is garaged, when not in use !!
But, if staying on lake and parking boat in a marina slip (>1day stay) ... then the electronics stay in/on the boat, until time to pack up and come home.
And I'm not talking about high end/high dollar stuff, either :p
.... cp :cool:
