Dick,
Do you have one of the Freedom series charger/inverters or a Truecharge charger and separate inverter? I think I might just replace the ProMarine before it gets me into trouble. I'm leaving on a week-long single-handed cruise later this month and I don't want any hassles other than what nature provides.
