David,
It is prudent.
I managed to kill my battery with a 10 W panel (to a 80 Ah battery).
A good controller is is worth every penny (it would save your batteries, so
that they would last longer).
A Genasun GV 4 (or GV-5) would fit the bill (at $65 (or $75) – and those are
MSRPs, you can get them cheaper).

Just to verify, it seems at 50 watts and a 400 amp battery capacity, I will not
need a controller. Or is t prudent to have one anyway...

I built an adjustable frame for mine from PVC pipe for about $15. This allows
it to more directly face the sun and the frame collapses so I can store it,
with the panel attached, below.
FWIW--it took less than an hour to build and glue the frame. Go the idea from a
you tube video.

The 50 watt one is 21x27 inches and quite thin.

OK...so I am trying to put a trickle charger on top of my sliding
companionway hatch. Found a quality one within the length (27") and width
(24") of the hatch but it is too tall at 1" and the hatch will not slide open.
Anybody find a setup that might work that is not one of those cheapo packaged
units?
Thanks in advance.
