Guys - Happy post-Labor Day!
Got a question on battery charger replacement: We've got a 2001 400DB, with the original Pro Mariner "Protec 4" charger system. It's apparently gone into retirement. When we plug into shore power and run the stereo and kick on a few DC - shipboard lights, the port battery voltage starts to slowly decline. My tech diagnosed it as a failed bank. Pro Mariner recommended a replacement over reapir, since parts cost for an out-of-production unit will be higher than a new replacement unit. No argument here.
In looking for a replacement, the newer, more powerful Pro Nautic 1250P seems to be the best choice. Any comments? Suggestions? Experience?
Cheers!
