Big advantage of the two discussed above is user-custom setpoint adjustability, letting you transition to whatever future batt chemistry without replacing gear.

Assumed it would be used for bulk or
equalization charging in combination w/the primary
charging as solar on the OP's
boat. Depending on the solar controller, should have adjustable on the controller to set better end points if needed.
Not to digress too much, but think if one changed
battery chemistry (e.g. lithium), a new shore powered charger would be a drop in the bucket in comparison to the
battery cost. Also by then, there may be better chargers out there then you're stuck w/old technology. It's kind of a crap shoot w/things changing so rapidly. Also w/the adjustable set points on the solar controller, should be covered there for the battery change.
