    • If you are considering buying a charger or not buying an onboard charger, stop considering and buy one- imagine a world where you never again have to wonder “hopefully the boat will start today...” by having two batteries and an onboard charger you basically eliminate ever having the possibility for a dead battery again- even if one of your batteries is dead
