On-board battery charger
I am planning on installing a 2 bank on-board charger this winter. Does anyone have any recommendations? In fact, do you think it is necessary? The only reason I see the need for a charger on-board would be for those occasions when I catch live bait with the cast net overnight and throw them in my baitwell.
Thoughts?

I installed a ProMariner 3-bank (only using 2 at the moment) for the same reason. I can go out in the afternoon to get bait in the livewell then hook up power at the dock to keep the batteries at full capacity overnight while the baitwell runs. It also makes it nice when I get home. I just run a power cord out to the boat and plug in to keep the batteries trickle charged and regulated. I installed a receptacle under above the footrest/under the console on my 215, that is connected to the battery charger inside the console. That way I don't have to open the console, just plug in to the receptacle on the outside of the console. I'll be showing this setup in the DVD when it is released.
BTW we're shooting the final segment of the DVD Thursday and I hope to have it edited within a couple weeks after that. It will be ready by Christmas for sure.

NJWARDY,
I just installed a Minn-Kota MK-25 2 bank battery charger/maintainer on my 195CC. I don't have the receptacle installed yet like Randy. I do not need a heavy overnight charger, but I do like to know that my batteries are fully charged when I take the boat out. It was easy to install; or as easy as you can imagine trying to work bent over that console and contort yourself to fit in there. John D.

I'm an old school kind of guy...if it works, why change. However, I installed one on my 170CC to charge my trolling motor batteries. I love it! Do you really need one? No. Does it make life easier? Yes. Just park the boat and plug in the charger. Done. No more worrying about the charge in your batteries. It's worth it just for the peace of mind.
