At the risk of being presumptuous, I think you have the cart before the horse.
If your intent is extended cruising - particularly offshore cruising where
you will not be using your engine for power (and to recharge the batteries

Hi Rich
I am not sure what my alternator output rating is but my ammeter never shows
more than 60 and even that is not for long as it settles out to between 15
and 30 fairly quickly

So here's a dumb question?
If I'm on shore power is just my battery charger and the DC outlets using
shore power or can I run the cabin lights and radio on the DC system? and if
so how?

I asked them about that when we had them to dinner several years back. Really.
They were in Minneapolis for a seminar I helped organize. Great people.
They still use oil-based nav and anchor lights. Larry’s pretty adamant about

his is a very popular 8 volt unit
Hopefully you can return it. You need a 12 volt charger, not an 8 volt
charger. You also need substantially more than 1.25 amps. This thing
will barely charge an 8 volt motorcycle battery.

Evidently, we all misunderstood the question. The battery minder is
advertised to provide a de-sufating pulse charge to prevent loss of
capacity. This is fine and may or may not add value for your purpose. Had
any of us realized that you simply wanted to keep the batteries from self
discharging
I picked up the one noted above to maintain the battery's. In my first post
I was trying to explain I needed something to keep the batt's charged while
sailing ever couple of weeks. For Now In 2018 We hope to shove off for
some extended cruising.
I will need to install a Good expensive on board
There will be plenty of new units on the market by 2018.

For built in chargers I've had a real bad expierience with 2 brand new

Curtis,
If I were cruising full time I would consider adding a 3rd battery. You
might want a charger that can handle where you expect to be in 5 years in
terms of batteries. Chances are the ones you have now will have been
replaced by 2018.
I've are read on SailNet that the new Xantrex are

One thing to consider is mounting location. Regardless of make or model, the
biggest killers of chargers and inverters are lack of ventilation and exposure
to water or high humidity.

You wouldn't want it. Actually, it's a 2000-R, and also controls the
voltage regulator for my alternator. Only *some* of the functions seem
to be out-to-lunch, but it still seems to handle one very important
function well: limiting the output of the alternator. I have a 120A
