So, I was able to remove the old charger. Mark, you are right, that thing is heavy! Picked up a Charles industries 2000 series 40 amp, 3 bank charger from my local supply store. Problem is that they want it mounted vertically. Every other charger I found available for today also wanted them mounted vertically, so I built a bracket. Used 3/4" marine plywood to make a backing (10" x 10") to mount the charger too and found some stainless steel "L" brackets that are 5" long. I have bolted them to the plywood and am going to screw them to the mounts in the boat. Hope to a have everything finished tomorrow morning. Gave the plywood a coat of paint and am letting it dry for the night. I will try to take some pictures tomorrow and post them.
