Jay, is this for fresh water or salt water use? If salt water, my only
advice as to an on board charger is, be sure it's compatible and/or has a
good warranty. I've just completed my third summer of salt water use and
have been amazed at the corrosive and destructive nature of the salt!

I will use the boat for both freshwater and sal****er. I bought a
ProMariner onboard charger last evening. It states that it can handle
sal****er environment. I have a feeling that I will be OK because the
charger will be mounted inside the center console (a protected
compartment area), and that area is dry. How did yours get to be in
such a bad shape? Did you put it in an area that was open to the
elements? Did you leave the boat in a marina instead of on a trailer?

Thanks for the warning though.
