Key Benefits of This Service

You gain the confidence that comes from knowing your batteries charge fully between trips, your panel has room for future upgrades, and your accessories draw power without risking a dead start. In Ocklawaha, where summer heat accelerates battery aging and frequent use drains reserves quickly, a properly managed power system prevents the frustration of being stranded at the ramp or cutting a fishing trip short.

Cooters Marine Service and Repair mounts your charger in a ventilated, dry location, runs heavy-gauge cable from the charger to each battery, and connects your panel with tinned copper wire and heat-shrink terminals. A battery isolator prevents your house loads from draining the starting battery, so your engine always cranks when you need it.

After installation, you receive a labeled panel diagram, a charging schedule recommendation based on your usage, and a test of every breaker and connection under load. The installer shows you how to check voltage with a multimeter and recognize early signs of a failing battery or loose connection.

Boat owners in Ocklawaha often ask about charger compatibility, how to size a dual battery system, and what causes power loss after upgrades. These answers clarify what you need to know before and after the work is complete.

Details That Matter Most

What size battery charger do I need for two deep-cycle batteries?
You need a charger that delivers at least ten percent of your total amp-hour capacity per bank, so two 100Ah batteries require a 20-amp charger with two outputs. The installer selects a unit that matches your battery chemistry and automatically adjusts charge stages.
Can you add a dual battery setup to a boat with only one battery tray?
Yes, you can mount a second tray in an available compartment or under a seat, as long as the location allows secure mounting and proper ventilation. The installer runs new cable and installs an isolator or switch to manage both banks.
Why does my boat lose power even after a new battery install?
Power loss often traces to corroded terminals, undersized wire, or a failing alternator that can't keep up with accessory draw. A full electrical diagnostic identifies the weak point and confirms whether you need panel upgrades, cable replacement, or alternator repair.
Do I need to unplug my charger when I'm using the boat?
You should disconnect shore power before starting the engine to avoid feedback through the charging circuit. Most modern chargers include reverse-polarity and overcharge protection, but unplugging remains the safest practice.
How do I know if my electrical panel needs an upgrade?
If you're adding accessories and running out of open breaker slots, or if your existing breakers trip frequently, you likely need a larger panel with higher total amperage capacity. The installer evaluates your current and planned loads to recommend the right size.

When your batteries charge reliably and your panel handles every accessory without tripping a breaker, you spend more time on the water and less time troubleshooting electrical issues.
