Made for 4x4... not sure how it'll handle salt. Look for a bluemarine system mate.

That's what I run, can't speak highly enough of the unit.

Thanks for the quick response Julian I was just trying to go cheap but would probably pay for it in the long run. Thanks for the link will check them out.

I run the BEP quad cluster setup. Over 4 years use and no dramas at all.

Here's another hand up for the quality of BEP.
I have fitted hundreds of them, all with good results.
Probably look for the integrated 1/2/both battery switch with VSR for your boat. They're about $180.

Just to throw a curve ball into it.

Get a sealed junction box from the electrical stores. Big enough to cover the relay.

Can get a clear lid for the junction box to see what's going on. Seal the cable entry points and presto.

I run a redarc system in my offshore boat. With link button.

Appreciate all the responses guys I didn't realize there were so many options out there. odieman :)

This is what I run with Blue Sea battery switches - smaller than the size of a credit card and waterproof.

[juggernaut]
