Hey all...just want to get a few opinions from other owners. I want to add on onboard charger at some point during this off season and wonder what you guys have experience with. I am specifically looking at a 2 bank charger to charge/maintain 2 Group 27 batteries.

Tell me what you have, what you think about it and if you dont mind...what you paid for it.

I've used a Battery Tender. I got a double one for about 150, so it can charge two batteries at once. This is my first season with the boat, but I plan to connect it in storage. Based on how it works on the cars and motorcycles, I assume it'll work just fine.

I use the ProSport 20, 2 output charger which charges, then maintains the batteries. So far so good.....

West Marine sells them, but so does Cabellas last time I looked.

I had a Promariner dual bank in my H200SS. Picked it up on sale at Fleet Farm for $89.95. Don't think you have a Fleet Farm down your way though, but they do now have a website, but I don't think it shows there sale items. I plan on getting another one for my new boat. Left it in my FW cuz the new owner made me as part of the deal.

Can fry eggs on the top of this thing. It works well, but I'd probably recommend you go with others recommendations, just cause this thing gets so hot.

There was another thread on this not long ago. IIRC ProMariner seemed to be the brand with the most positive posts.

My Promariner never even got warm really.

For my anniversary, the Admiral bought me a Pro Mariner ProSport 12. I got it put it on Wednesday, 95% complete. I need to get some wire loom to cover the wires I ran and then I will be done with that project. I also had to add a 5ft wire extention to get to the battery on the other side. I mounted mine in the same place as Impulse has his. It just seemed to make sense to have it there.

I would have it on right now, BUT all the damn extension cords we own are connected to Christmas lights...lol.
