    This is the special one-off Clastron model. Bet you have never seen another one of these. Very rare...;)

    But, good point, capt. No reason the radio or depthfinder wouldn't work for 3 months while on a trickle charger.

    Very "classy"...... not as "glassy"... nice boat!!!!
    If you don't have ac available I get your point.... otherwise a little 10 amp guest would rock...

    I think I might do what you say...2A trickle should still get my batteries charged and cover any slow draw accessories that might be on.

    Then I don't have to mess with the extra wires and hassle.

    It won't be as much of an issue now, since I bought a charger just for the boat (not sharing it between the Maverick and rider mower). So I can just leave it on all the time and the batteries will be fine when I need them.

    Thanks for convincing me!
