If they're lead-acid batteries, it's only lead holding the terminal
bolts in place, so you can only do them up so tight. Just a thought.
Corrosion/electrolysis of course also very possible anywhere around
salt water, more so if it actually gets salt spray. Great gobs of
vaseline are the usual way to try and prevent terminal corrosion.
