Hi John, I have a different take on things: 1).  Battery chargers should not be left connected unattended on a boat.  The acid can boil off, the battery can become hot and start a fire, etc.  It's just not good practice.  If you want to charge your batteries over the winter, either remove them

Hi, Jim — a 20amp charger is pretty minimal for your battery setup and electrical needs; typical minimum would be based 0n 10% of your house bank’s total amp-hours, which I’d guess to be around 300 amp-hours or so. So you’d be looking at a 30-amp or larger battery charger. The Mastervolt
