First Mod Started.....Winterization Started

[OperationROL]

So today I started the first Modification on Perfect Heaven II. Luckily, my storage facility has a power outlet in it so I decided to leave the batteries in the boat and install my inboard charging unit. I installed a Marinco 28210 - 10A (5/5), 12/24V 2 Bank 120V Input. Marinco is the company that owns Guest and now is labelling all their products with the Marinco name. This charger is exactly the same one I had in our SX230 except the labeling. It can stay hooked up all winter since it has a 5 stage charging cycle that will charge, condition and monitor the battery and if the battery voltage drops below 12.8 volts or if 14 days have passed since the last charge the charge cycle will start automatically. I still have to decide where to put the external outlet to plug the charger in but that can wait until the spring.

Nice setup all the way around, that is boat, charger and storage.

FYI - I think I have the same charger but mine is Guest branded and I ended up mounting the charging port in a cup holder to avoid drilling a hole in the hull.

Nice job Neil! A side benefit to raising the tires off the ground...harder to steal the boat! lol Those hinged seats are NICE!
