Cheap Charge Controller - Wind and Solar, Two or Three Outputs ?

Can anyone suggest a cheap basic charge controller for hooking one small solar panel and a small rutland wind turbine (not purchased yet but liked the idea that you can't get hit by the blades) up to two, preferably three batts. I have a motor and a house battery currently but would like to add an extra batt for supplying a 1kw inverter for those things that occasionally need mains, like the wife's straighteners! Thought I'd keep it separate from the house batt so as not to lose the fridge if it went to low. Also assume it's best to connect the controller direct to the batts individually so as not to interfere with engine charging or shore power charging on my Sun Odyssey 32.2 Any advice or thoughts welcome, thanks
