Excellent charger

Mount it, plug it in and forget it's there. Worked great all winter and charges fast enough to fish twice a day! Super deal and highly recomended.

Rating :



connecting cords are too short

Overall the product is a well built charger. The problem lies in the fact that in most fishing boats the batteries are not within 4 feet of each other. It becomes a hassle disconnecting the front battery to make it reach. Also you need to be aware that you must complete the cycle, both cords to one battery or hook up both batteries. If you don't do this it will drain the battery.

Guest 2611A charge pro series marine battery charger

It was a chore charging my two boat batteries individually. I came across this
charger which has good experience reviews from several users & for a very rea
sonable price. I bought this charger, installed it in my boat, & I am very
with it so afar.

Best Charger I have ever owned

I had been using portable battery chargers for 5 years and have burned up 4 of them. I installed this on board charger and my trolling motor batteries have never lasted this long under heavy weed mat fishing. The ease of just plugging it in and walking away and not wondering if it is charging properly is relief to the mind. It was easy to install and has been working great.

Works great

First of all, read the instructions. This is suggested to be installed vertically so I had to build a wooden bracket/stand for it to mount it.

The unit works great, it's hard to know if all 10 amps are really moved to the 2nd battery once the first battery it fully charged though. My half dead trolling battery took only 3'ish hours to recharge, but my almost dead starting battery took about 12 hours to fully charge. I would have figured the starting battery would have been able to re-charge much faster since all the power was supposed to have been routed to it after my trolling battery recharged.

This is my first charger though so who knows. I will never need to go out quicker than 12 hours after coming in from fishing anyways so that is not a problem for me.

It is easy to install and use.

Customer Review :

Not dependable

These lights were initially very bright & seemed durable, but on our very first paddle with them, BOTH of the two lights we purchased randomly turned off & back on several times, for no apparent reason, even after we (with dry hands) checked to make sure they were assembled correctly. It was more than a little scary finding ourselves in the middle of open water after dark with lights that wouldn't stay on since we share the water with much bigger boats. Very disappointing.

Nice light, bad application

Let me start by saying I did not look at my kayak closely prior to ordering a suction cup model. The light works perfectly and is very durable and a nice design. Now, if I'd looked closer at my kayak I'd have known the surfaces are not really designed for a suction cup attachment. Off to the drawing board and I'm confident I can get this to work with a homemade attachment of sorts. I've used the light several times and the batteries last for quite a long time. And, it works well for loading the kayak on the car in the dark after I'm finished.
My advice: Don't be dumb like I was and assume the suction cup base will work. Otherwise I highly recommend this little light.

I'm So Excited About These!!

So I ordered four of these in total, for two kayaks: two white stern lights (these lights), and two red/green bow lights. I spent the next couple of days trying to figure out how to mount the lights before they actually arrived. My reasoning was that there was no way I'd be lucky enough for these suction cup mounts to actually stick to our plastic kayaks. Surely that would only work on the fiberglass models. So with expectations firmly in check, I came up with a couple of decent, but not perfect, temporary solutions involving the deck rigging and maybe a carabiner or two.

Well, then they arrived. I put the batteries in one and turned it on. It's bright! Good! Now how to mount it on the kayak... In my garage, I stuck one on to the Old Town kayak. Much to my surprise, the force of suction was so strong that I couldn't just pull it off! I had to peel the suction cup base up a little to kill the vacuum. Then I tried it on the Necky kayak with the same results! This is great -- they stay on with such force that I have no problem using them without rigging or anything else. Both of my kayaks are hanging sideways on the garage wall, and the suction cups will hold indefinitely with the lights hanging sideways, parallel to the ground! I have added an image of the light doing just that. Note that the light can be mounted either horizontally or vertically - there are two sets of screw threads to attach the suction cup to, one on the bottom of the light and one on the side.

The lights have proven their seaworthiness. They are waterproof. The manufacturer claim is that they float. I have no reason to doubt that claim, but guess what? They don't come off the kayak unless I want them to, so I don't know! Ha!

With 4 AA's, they're sure to last a good long time, too. I'd recommend getting alkalines or lithiums (GASP! I never thought I'd say that) over rechargeables, only because with infrequent use, the NiMH batteries tend to self-discharge over time, and you'll have to keep recharging them before every outing. If you don't mind doing that, then it's cool, but I already have to charge my GPS batteries, walkie batteries, camera batteries, flashlight batteries, etc., so I'll stick with the alkalines so I don't have to recharge an additional 16 batteries (remember, 4 lights!) every week or so.

Lastly, if you're going to have these out in the sun a lot (why?), or if you'll be using them in saltwater, the manual recommends using a silicon spray protectant of some kind to keep it in good shape, and give it a thorough washing after use. Probably a good idea - salt water destroys everything. Oh, and take care with the top when installing the batteries. It only goes on one way, and there's a tab that fits into a groove in the base. Don't go trying to force anything or you might damage it.

bright light

Works much better than an older version that I had before. Very bright light and suction cup works well.

This thing is excellent!!!

This review will be largely similar to the white stern lights, since they are equivalent in every way except 1) this lens is red and green, and 2) this light includes a C-clamp in addition to the suction cup.

So I ordered four of these in total, for two kayaks: two red/green bow lights (these lights), and two white stern lights. I spent the next couple of days trying to figure out how to mount the lights before they actually arrived.

Well, then they arrived. I put the batteries in one and turned it on. It's bright! Good! Not quite as bright as the white light, but that's to be expected since the lens on this one is colored, and the lens is clear on the other one. Now how to mount it on the kayak... In my garage, I stuck one on to the Old Town kayak. Much to my surprise, the force of suction was so strong that I couldn't just pull it off! I had to peel the suction cup base up a little to kill the vacuum. Then I tried it on the Necky kayak with the same results!

The C-clamp that comes with this one.... well, let's just say that it doesn't serve a purpose for me, since these suction cups are so strong. However, if you prefer the clamp, it is pretty strong and mounts solidly to the light. Luckily it can be removed, and the suction cup can be used in its place.

Casing for this light was a little weaker than I was hoping for but, I'm sure the only ones that might end up standing on it will be the kids, and that won't be more 90lbs. For the price and quality, you can't get any better! Thanks Attwood!

I installed a set of the Atwood LED lights on my boat recently. They are a simple install. The lights are much more brighter than my original lightbulb type lights. These lights are well worth the money.

Questions & Answers
Question : Need help on short story?? Just tell me what you think about it!!?
A Peace from the EndIt started as a thought then progressed into a dream and then it became an action that now is a nightmare. I overreacted, and became too bold. I took a month off of the work, and flew down to the southern most tip of Chile. The first of the month was when I would emerge myself in the culture, and then the second part was an upscale camping trip. The first part was great. Everything the typical young American did I did. Perhaps I had too much fun because when it came to the camping part I was a wreck. Two days into the outing I fired the guide, which wasn’t the best idea considering I had no knowledge of the area. She left all the equipment that I would need; the only thing lacking was the instruction manual to it all. The first night was fine, the second one not so much. It’s November, and although I’m in South America it’s cold. The second night it rained, and the tent wasn’t properly set up for rain, so it leaked. After this incident I grabbed a map and hiked toward the ocean. Land wasn’t treating me well. Once there I bought a small boat and planned on taking it easy on the ocean blue. So much for that keen idea.Most everything I knew about ocean currents came from my freshman year of geography. It just so happens that I didn’t pay attention too much in that class, so most of my knowledge is conflicting therefore incorrect. But I always enjoyed winging it. Now here I am in the middle of some ocean on a boat with just enough water to get me through a few days and the only food is that in my backpack. I don’t know how to properly drive a boat. This place that was a paradise for me several days ago is now my lovely killer. If the cold doesn’t kill me the loneliness will. After trying all the controls written coincidentally in Spanish. I try the radio, but showing those poor Mexicans how livid I am doesn’t seem to help. It just makes my throat and head hurt. Then it gets me thinking about how I’ve treated people my whole life. It’s best not to get started on some deep, personal self-evaluation I tell myself, but I know the topic will again come up. Best now to drift off to sleep on this cold stiff bed the only thing between the unforgiving crystal clear haven and me. A new outlook has been bestowed upon me. I’ve decided to just take it easy. The scenery is astounding; one can just imagine the outline of the land, but it truly is gone. Today is much warmer than the previous days. The sun is shining brightly, and my spirits are high. I lay on the bow of the boat dreaming about what I wish would be. I imagine that I’m on a yacht on a warm day off the coast of the Virgin Islands. The crewmen come by and ask,” Is there anything I can get for you?” “I’m good on the sushi, but could you get me another one of these?” I reply tapping the tall thin glass nonchalantly. The life is good. This boat is hardly a yacht. The fish are hardly crewmen, and dingy water is not even close to a chilled cocktail. Aside from the melancholy reality today is a great day. And no clouds, rain, or icy air can change that.The dew covers my fingers, frost covers my hair, and my bones are stiff with cold. Guess that’s what I get for passing out on the deck. This boat is small with a cabin in the bottom. It has a clumsy heater, but a nice stash of blankets in the closet along with a cheap hot plate. I’m wondering if I should try using hot plate; a cappuccino or some hot chocolate would really do the trick. But there’s a chance it could start an electrical fire. Maybe first I should check if there’s a lifeboat. If I’m stuck in a lifeboat I will surely die; a hot drink or potential death? I grab the hot plate. As I sip the hot chocolate and curl under the blanket I think of how to make this situation even better. Some music I decide would just make this day. Turns out the radio that I yelled at the Mexicans through only plays music. If only-oh wait I got it- some English music comes on. I lay there sipping hot chocolate, curled with blankets, and listening to the hottest songs wondering what the other people are listening to this very song right now, and what are they doing. Are they driving, at a party, getting a phone call, or being idle just as I? I just think of all the resources they have. I wouldnt’ but gray skies and blue under it. It scares me. Here I am in the presence of no one. It’s just me out here. Me against myself. The warmth is all gone along with my hope. I know now that this adventure will surely end in my demise, but I am at peace with it. I know the end, yet somehow I am perfectly content with the verdict. As the good book says,” Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die.” I shall certainly do the latter two for

And on legal errors made by the Nazi DIMIA. Whats the real story with that joint ?I was asking why.WHY this is the situation. Why import trades instead of training their own young people ?Is it because most young people want to leave the damn place as soon as they get qualified in a trade or profession and get the taste of some money ? And again if so WHY ?

Answer:
We do train our own people and they stay here to work too but in the past, too many parents and counsellors have thought that university is the only way to go for kids and they've been steering them away from trades. Fortunately that attitude is changing and trades are becoming seen as desirable occupations again.I know that you don't really want to know, but for your information, only people on the current list from the following trades are being granted visas at present:Electronic Equipment TradesAircraft Maintenance Engineer - AvionicsAircraft Maintenance Engineer - MechanicalGasfitterWall and Floor TilerI'm very sorry to see that you're back with your anti-Australian sentiments - there has to be something seriously wrong with someone who is so bitter and negative about a country like this one. It's been pleasant without you.
