No experience with Coleman specifically, but very good experience using a 10w hard panel (Defender - brand not remembered) bought years ago to over-winter trickle charge (and keep from freezing) two 12v deep cycles, in a similarly cold climate. Just make sure the panel is vertical and south-facing to melt off sticky snow or ice. I lash mine to selected lifelines depending on the direction of boat and cradle when stored. Sure beats hauling those lead things out of the boat and home....
