Remove the batterys and charge at home.
Or buy a solar trickle charger

If your boat is in the water at a dock all summer there's really not much you can do other then taking your batteries out and charging at home, unless they'll let you run a long extension cord up to the closest outlet. When I go up north for a week and my boat is docked I bring along a generator, sure beats dragging 3 batteries up to the camp every night.

We drag batteries out at night and charge 'em. We typically bring 4 batteries (24v TM). That way 2 are charging and 2 are ready to go.

My boat is docked on my lake. I pull my battery out to recharge it either at my trailor or at home.

Always remember that over charging your batteries can be a major factor in their short life!
