My question is this. Why do you feel you need a battery charger on the
boat?

I probably should have explained that I have a 13-foot aluminum boat
with a 9.9 HP gas engine and a 12-volt electric motor. I bought the boat
about a year ago and I have only used it a few times so far using the
electric
motor. So, when I take the boat out and use the electric motor, I need to
recharge the battery when I get home.



Just use a cheap timer to charge the battery for 10-12 hours after you
return from fishing. The battery sitting unused will not discharge much.
