    I have a Minn Kota 2-bank (10 amps per bank) charger that has performed wonderfully for the past 3 years.

    “Guest” makes oustanding chargers. I own 2 and they work flawlessly including the one that has been in my boat for many years. I use “Johnny Ray” mounts for my electronics. They were once the standard before ram came out. They work as good if not better. I would use them on a new boat.

    I picked up a 3 bank Minnkota from JollyAnn…upon Wades recommendation.

    Left the batteries in the boat for three winters now..(plugged in) and they’ve been working great. I will say I don’t use my 24 volt trolling motor much. But I do use the trolling motor batteries for my bait tank airiators…a lot!

    The one thing I noticed was that in the hot weather I would normally have to add water to the batteries…with the computer controled Minnkota I haven’t had to do this. My old charger would boil the water out…I believe.

    On board chargers…the only way to fly!
