Oof, you paid a lot of money for that charger! I just bought an XPS 2 bank 20 amp charger from Bass Pro Shops and it was about $90 with shipping. This is my second one as these things last about 3 - 4 years. They are completely encapsulated and not repairable, but it does come with a 2 year warranty.
I read some user reviews of the Minn Kota chargers and people were complaining that they were not getting full charges on thier batteries so I went with the XPS - same as my first one.
I have a 17 Bass and my charger is mounted in the rear battery compartment. I had to lengthen the wires to my trolling battery which sits under my console. I just cut off the wires from the old charger and spliced them onto the new one. The old wires were actually a heavier gage even though the chargers are of identical power and banks.
