TR,
A battery has to be mounted so it is attached to the boat and the positive terminal (at least) has to be covered to prevent shorts. So if the battery is in the lazarette compartment, it still has to have a covered positive terminal if its not in a box.
Marine stores sell various insulated caps or covers for the terminals.

Just a simple safety thought working on the batteries in our boats.
Use safety glasses every time and dont even skip it once. Yes I have
screwed up and blown up a battery in my youth but was protected by
a car hood (the 56 Chev died). I saw a friend loose a eye over something
real stupid by lifting a battery with a vice grip and have the vice grip come
off and hit him in the eye. Myself I think I need to look over my first aid
kit and replace with newer, fresher and bigger.
