I install Pro-Mariner exclusively and am very satisfied. They are not cheap, but are very reliable and won't overcharge or damage your batteries.

Earlier this year my 9 year old Guest 2 bnk charger died. I called Guest to see if it could be repaired and they said to send it in. One week later I got a brand new Guest two bank charger in the mail....no charge (no pun intended).
I will never own another brand of charger.

Guest's are excellent chargers. But what I like about ProMariner's is that once one battery is topped out, it sends all the amps to the other batteries. Guest doesn't do that. Plus, we actually took a ProMariner ProSport 20+, plugged in and hooked up to 3 batteries, and dropped it in a 5 gallon bucket of water. And it worked like a champ. I'll take ProMariner.

My three bank Pro Mariner 30 amp charger is still working with no problems and is used everyday. Installed in Nov 1998 so
almost 10 years now and no problems.

Pro-Mariner gave me a loyaty discount for sticking with them. Check with yours to find out..........if you stay with the same model, you won't have to do any re-arrainging of the wireing.

Look on eBay for remanufactured ProMariners. I've bought two of them (3-bank automatic) and the most I spent was $80 delivered.
