    Dual bank, 8 amp charger. Used one season. ProMariner is a recognized name in the marine electronics industry, locally they are carried by Cargo East marine. This model is a little small for my needs (I replaced it with a larger Pro Mariner charger), but would be a good AC charger for a small boat with smaller 12v batteries.

    $125

    One thing I should mention regarding the capability of the unit....if you are used to Minn Kota, the size of this charger sounds very small. Minn Kota's chargers provide a set amount of current per bank, for example the 210D charger outputs 5 amps x 2 banks. ProMariner chargers distribute the charge where it is needed (Distributed-on-demand)......so say you get off the water and your starting battery is pretty much at full capacity (not much power draw on it throughout the day and/or alternator has been topping it off, which is actually the typical scenario for a lot of people's use), but your trolling motor battery is pretty low after a full days use. When you plug in the ProMariner charger, it will provide 4 amps to each bank. Once the starting battery is topped off (it won't take long if was not discharged much), the ProMariner charger will begin allocating all 8 amps to the trolling motor battery. So in a lot of cases, the time it would take for an 8 amp Pro Mariner charger to top off starting + trolling motor batteries after typical usage relative to say a Minn Kota 210D (a "10 amp" charger) is less.

    That's exactly the info I was just trying to find, Craig. I'll take it if it's still available.

    Sorry Craig, missed Bryan's post above. Didn't mean to put you in an awkward spot. If Bryan's buddy has committed, he can have first crack at it. If not, I'll definitely take it.
