    VHF Radio and Winter Storage

    I'm preparing my boat for Winter for the first time here in the North East. Is it OK to leave the VHF radio on the boat during Winter if it is kept dry? There seems to be a lot of cables and wires attached at the back, so would rather keep it on the boat if that's what other people do as well.
