how many of you guys leave your on board chargers plugged in 24/7??? or how often do you plug it in when your boat is not in use for extended periods of time?
thanks

I had mine plugged in at my old garage 24/7. In my new house with attached garage, I plug it in about once a month for a couple hours. But that's just because it's handy now, and I'm usually putzing around out there. I'd have no problem leaving it plugged in 24/7, especially if you don't have battery disconnects, which most boats don't for all batteries. Just the main, cranking battery. The DFI motors will have a slight draw, I am told.

During the winter I subscribe to the occasional charging theory.

During the season, boat doesn't sit for extended periods, but when it is sitting it is plugged in!

John a great question. First off what kind of charger is it? I have always used dual-pro chargers and leave them plugged in 24/7 with never a problem.
