Wally....I am probably the least knowledgeable of all the posters on the
list....but when I bought Finesse 2 years ago....the charger was not
working....rather than just buy a new one.....I called Charles
Industries.....found them very helpful and for $100 they replaced the panel
board checked it out....has been performing great....was happy not to have to
buy a new one....but when I do...will certainly consider Charles ....

Wow. 973 Messages...I've been away from the dock too long. <VBG>
Speaking of the dock, I spent most of last year being a marina rat. We
had two spectacular electrical fires, where a dockbox exploded due to
bad wiring. There are no electrical codes down here, and the first
repair was done by committeemade up of marina security guards. Really.
I was inside my boatand saw the reverse polarity light going on and off
and turning dim, so stuck my head out to see what the heck was going
on. Six guys were standing in a puddle of salt water, splicing new wire
directly onto the spot where the fire started, while the entire dock
circuit was live. Welcome to Mexico. Therepair was then wrapped with an
entire roll of duct tape. Naturally, the next time a boat plugged in,
the repair exploded and caught on fire again.
While my Freedommarine charger still outputs a charge, all the stuff
that managed the 3 stage charging, as well as the monitoring circuits in
my Link 2000, are scrambled. So I'm starting to think about what's next.
I haven't really been watching the technology changes in the last 10
years, but believe that there's new 'pulse' technology and better stuff
than Xantrex.
Any recommendations in the 50A range, 110V 60Hz?
Wal
