If you're using the boat quite a bit you probably don't need one. It was a convenience factor for me. Plus sometimes we would head out in the afternoon to catch live bait for a fishing trip the next morning. Rather than have the bait well pump running all night and draining the battery, with the on-board charger installed I simply hookup power at the dock and the pump can run all night with no battery drain. It is also convenient when I get home after washing down the boat to simply plug the outdoor power cord into the receptacle under the console and know that the batteries are being trickle charged and regulated to keep them fresh.
