Re: Questions for ex-traditional TS owners

Re: Which Battery Charger to buy?
We use a Powertech Plus unit, MB3608. Charges our twin AGM"s no problem , not great at extreme hot temps above 35 deg celcius Cuts out to protect circuitry.

Re: Stereo installlation
I put a pair of speakers in the usual place in the cabin above the V berth, works great. Cut my holes with a hole saw then made them bigger with a jigsaw to the size i needed , remember the speakers are bigger than the hole you need , measure twice , cut once.
