Before you change the unit (and if you do, go with the ProNautic 1240P) you

Ok, so I have read the other responses and what your experience means to me is
that you have been doing this with reasonably good batteries and or older
battery chargers. I too have never had a problem with the charger in a boat but

seemed to be grounded in misunderstandings about how electricity works. The
best answer was that if you get in the habit of disconnecting your
