Hi, I have a "unique" problem with the battery charger on my C27. It never stops charging the batteries, and ends up boiling all the water out, if I don't turn it off. Does anyone know of a timer type divice I can hook up, and if so, where could I find such a device?

get a smarter charger
When I bought my C27 this summer, it had no dedicated charger at all, so I went shopping for one that was as foolproof as possible. I bought a modest Prosport20 marine charger, which is supposed to be smart enough to read the charge level of the batteries and keep them conditioned -- and also avoid boiling them. I've left the charger plugged in whenever I'm at the dock for the past three months, and never had a boil problem yet.

Try some research on chargers and what batteries
