Jerry, thanks for the feedback! I have an onboard AC charger (MinnKota two bank) that I was planning to continue to use since it works fine. When I talked to the gentleman at Stealth he said we can hook the two together (he would provide more specifics if I went that route) and the Stealth DC would control my current AC unit OR I could just keep them separate. My thought would be to keep them separate because I know the AMP limits of my current AC charger and would prefer to give a bigger boost like I am thinking the Stealth DC will do when running the outboard vs "throttling" down to what my AC unit supplies (10 Amps per bank). I only have a 24 volt system, but thought about adding a battery strictly for my electronics (GPS units, lights, stereo, etc items on ACC switch) in the rear rather than having it run off my cranking battery which causes concern for me.
The piggyback unit is intriguing. I may end up doing that then selling my Minnkota for a song because I wouldnt have a need for it anymore.
Regarding the guage. I already have guages to check voltage in my boat, what does the Stealth guage offer over and above this?
