looking at an onboard charger

[fish with teeth]

im redoing my boat this year and looking to get an onboard charger. was looking at the promariner prosport 20 plus or maybe a guest 3 bank. anyone use either of these products or know something about them? i have a 24volt trolling motor and 1 starting battery. thanks for any input.

Dual Pro or Minkota are the best.

I love the prosport 20 on my boat......no issues and it's 5 years old or so.

Be sure to check with Perchjerker at Pro Fishing Supply.. a sponsor and a regular contributor on here.. lots of people have had very good luck with him.

good to hear a positive about the prosport. checked at pro fishing supply and i think everything is below list price. very good deals. thanks for the heads up

I have had several in the past and the dual pro has been the most reliable thus far. They are a little more money but have great customer service.

Dual Pro....plus they have great customer service.

We have had good luck with our minnkota over the past few years.

Dual Pro and Minn Kota are my favorites, I have Dual Pro in my own boat.

You don't hear of many problems with Guest chargers any more, and more and more guys are going with Guest again. I'd still go with Dual Pro or Minn Kota over a Guest charger.

If you really want a Pro Mariner we can get one for you --- I'd recommend against it though, there are definately better options out there.

Hope that helps a bit.

stay away from ProMariner! first one failed,sent it in for repairs took 3 months to get it back at the cost of 90% new in its second year it has failer PorMariner 12-amp Pro Sport Gen 2. So in three years I had 2 fail, a new bought it in june failed in April sent it in in May got it back in July and it failed April also Never again with that brand.I,m useing a standard batt. charger till I can find a midpriced one that has good reports for two years in a row,Hopefully only the occasional bad report.I researched these and they were 60% good 40% bad and most the bad were failing but there was always someone disputing reasons they fail.I now wonder whom it may have been,All bsd reports were disputed

Mr Perchjerker .... Hello - Did Pro Fishing Supply go out of business? Their HSOforum no longer seems to be functioning? I wanted to buy an onboard charger from them.

Thanks
