T&T: Bow Thruster

[Chuck and Susan]

Doc, Yes the charger should be disconnected. You want to determine the condition of the battery and whether it will recover from use. The other thing I would suggest is to set up an independant charger for the thruster as oppose to the echo charger. They work great for starting batteries but not so much so for thrusters. Chuck
