I tried the NOCO genius 1 bank charger on my pontoon and have been really happy with its performance. It's totally waterproof, which is good since it sites in an exposed location near the motor. Had a Minn Kota on every other boat I have owned. Never had a problem with them either. No over heating issues. https://no.co/brands/noco-genius

I checked the temp on the minn kota precision 3 bank 6 amp charger on a 95 deg day with a infrared temp gun and it was staying at 115 deg all day . I will use a surge protector and cross my fingers .

Thanks for sharing. I was wondering what temp could be expected on a hot day. I will be using a surge protector this time. I should have been using one to begin with.
Tight lines and God bless.

So I called and customer service was great. I gave them the serial number and told them it was getting extremely hot. They emailed me a shipping label and said that as soon as I drop it off at the UPS Store they will send me a replacement. This model is on back order so they said as soon as it is available it will ship to me. Super easy process.
Tight lines and God bless.

As soon as you SHIP THEM YOURS, YOU’LL BE WITHOUT A CHARGER AND PLACED ON A WAITING LIST FOR A REPLACEMENT? ummm I’d be kinda mad, but you seem “ok” with the situation.

Honestly hated to hear that they are on back order because who knows how long it will take but I’m ok with it since I’m not able to fish at the moment. Fixing an electrical issue with the motor that I haven’t had much time to mess with. Hopefully be back on the water by the time the weather starts cooling down.
Tight lines and God bless.

Received my new charger today. Only had to wait 12 days with it being on back order. Hopefully this one will last a while.
Tight lines and God bless.
