I have 2005 Nitro (1st boat) with a pro 3 bank charger that needs to be replaced.

Looking for recomendations on what to replace it with and where to buy for best deal..

Thanks

Check out Guest On Board chargers. Small enough you can mount it on the under side of storage door over your gas tank. Go onto Google or E- Bay .

When mounting your new charger there are a few ways / places to do it. I took my charger out of my boat so that I would have more compartment room (it was in the starboard rear storage locker). I got a 7 pin automotive chassis connector. The female end is attached to wires, the same gauge as the charger leads, from the batteries and is attached thru na hole to the side of the storage locker. I attached the charger wires to the male end of the connector. When I want to charge my batteries I put the charger in the storage locker, plug the 7 pin connectors together, lock the lid and plug in the power. Yes I have to lug around the charger when I go overnight. But to me it is a win-win situation. The boat has more storage space and less weight. Also the charger does not take a beating in rough water.

I would normally say the only one to buy is the Dual Pro but the Minn Kota for $150.00 is a steal, run and don't walk

if ur on a budget, the new BPS XPS series is very nice... their old design was crap!!

I upgraded to the minn kota 3 bank and it has last 2 years. I used to go through one XPS a season, so I am very pleased!!

what is wrong with your current charger? I'm pretty sure most chargers have a lifetime warranty. I would at least look into it. You may save some cash.
