I've got a Minn Kota Terrova that is powered by 2 12V batteries on a 2001 open Crestliner 1600.
After each trip I remove the batteries from the boat, put them on charge in my garage and then on the next trip I lug them back to the boat .
The boat currently has no shore power hook up.
I want to install a battery charger that can hook up to 1) domestic mains power when trailered on my driveway, 2) marina shore power when afloat in the marina. The marina power sockets looks something like a trailer hitch socket.
I'm totally new to this so a bit stumped how to set this up and what components I need to buy. I can see waterproof marine battery chargers online, but how do I hook that charger up to power it ?
thank you
