Hey Guys- The Guest 2623 in my 99 P3 finally bit the dust. 3 banks is all I need, only have 3 batteries. Looking to replace it. What do you guys suggest? Appreciate the responses.1999 Pantera III 1999 200 Opti 25P Tempest Minn Kota Maxxum 70 2 Pinpoint 7520s

for an onboard the 3 bank noco genius seems good and reasonable. i think that is what BCB is using now. Dual pro also seems to have a good following. The best would be external charging as the chargers dont get beat up and they last longer, BCB does sell one ($$$) but it is considered the best available.Irv

I have had a 4 bank 15 amp Minnkota for 4 years with zero issues. Replaced loops with clips and I use it externally. LAD gave me a soft bag to keep it and wires in. Very handy.C.O.D. Jr. III

I have had both NOCO and Minn Kota and they both were great for me with no issues.- Chaz

We would either go NOCO in 3 x 12, or to the Lester hand carry model in 36 volts. The best price is on Amazon for NOCO and it is under Bass Cats actual cost as Amazon uses adv. revenue or something to offset losses.

Now is the time to save the weight and go external. NOCO system like Ward has done or go big and get the Lester. I made the switch this year to the Lester and wish I did it sooner. ONE BAD MAMA CHARGER!!!

Ive got a 3 bank MK on board and it is fine after 5 yrs no issues. I like Wards idea and the Lester portable.I run a smaller boat, so weight is an issue. Looking back now, my next boat will not have an on-board or if it goes out it will be removed in favor of a portable. Oh the “creature comforts” that it takes years to figure out (at least for me) that somethings are as good if not better when done “old school”……….96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

ONE BAD MAMA CHARGER!!!Looking at the Lester. How is it hooked to your batteries? Surely you dont move it between the batteries.Bill Spence St. Albans, VT [url=mailto:billspence@yahoo.com]billspence@yahoo.com[/url] http://www.twinstatebassin.com Bass Cat Boats http://www.basscat.com Vexilar Marine Electronics http://www.vexilar.com
