Is the jumper pack you use idenitical to ones used for car batteries, or does it need to have special specs?
Not sure about his, but mine is the same as I use for the car, golf cart, lawn tractor, etc.

I have never seen a "marine specific" booster pack, but given the ability to charge a premium for all things marine-grade, I'm sure you could find one

The biggest issue, as others have noted, is the risk of spark in an enclosed bilge (likely not a problem on a 'toon). When/if you are going to connect ANYTHING to your battery (charger, jump pack, jumper cables, or even the battery itself in the spring) make sure the bilge is well ventilated. If you cannot run the blower, open the compartment and smell for fumes, give it a few minutes to let fresh air circulate if it has been closed up.
