Chris,
It is generally not a good idea to stow them where they could become immersed. When in the process of surviving a bad day at sea it's not helpful to have a boarding sea immerse your batteries, shorting them out. It is a tempting location, though.(g) The OP seemed to indicate that they were on a shelf of some sort, presumably above the bilge. It is certainly a topic worth more discussion.
