I think the problem is that you can't guaranty that a bass boat won't capsize. If it does and you have a seatbelt on the chances of drowning are probably very high.

I think you should be able to use the quick release handles and lower them way down before you put her in the garage. Than, when you go fishing, pull her out and raise the talons again. Just make sure the wiring has enough slack.
