Can you hook this to the boats 12 volt battery?

Yes. You still may need to replace the small battery inside the screen. Be sure to replace that with the VERY same one. Panasonics will not work in this device for some reason. We got a 3 pack at Radio Shack and keep the spares on hand.

Yes, it requires 12 DC to operate. I have it connected to the 12 volt source through one of my console switches.

Yes you can hook it straight to the boats 12 volt battery just make sure you use the included fuse.

It will most likely will run through a "blower" switch on the console, but yes you could just hook it right up to a 12V battery if you are using it for another purpose.

Hi, I'm sure you can but, it has to be plugged into a 120Volt supply when charging the batteries. When the boat is on a trailer parked somewhere it would work great.

Absolutely, if you wire up the appropriate 12V battery with the current capacity you need for the target runtime. It would be a relatively trivial hack to do if you want to, but is it designed to do so? No.

No, the unit should be hooked to your boat battery, via the console instrument panel, or sending unit, check your boat manual for hook up directions. Mine had an older model and i just hooked the new one where the old one hooked up under instrument panel.

No you can not, the pump that comes with he kit has alligator clips for a 12 volt battery. It is great because we take the bowl and set it up on the bank of the stream and having the battery hook up works well for this purpose.

I'd like to use this inside my sailboat cabin. Seems I should be able to put a 12v adapter onto its plug in order to use with my marine battery. Does anybody know if this sounds feasible?

Yes, it could be hooked up directly to a 12 v battery, but I'm not sure how you would run your hose on a kayak.Don't think this would be a good application.

Yes, I have mine attached to my battery in my boat 24/7 (at least in the summer) and use the boat at the same time. Don't expect this charger to come anywhere close to charging your battery while using the trolling motor tho. Connect it and forget it.

In theory you can, but its not recommended and the NEC wouldn't approve. If you want to connect a 12 V battery to an inverter (to make it act as a power source) then look for an off-grid power inverter instead. They can come in 12V, 24V, 48V configurations.

Yes. I have this mounted on my boat dock to charge a 12 v Battery for my boat lift. Working perfectly.

No you cannot. This one will, Battery Tender 022-0157-1 Waterproof 12 Volt Power Tender Plus Battery Charger

Mine runs on the 12V system in my tour boat. You just attach the right size terminals to the positive and negative wires for the 12V plug, and attach them to the + and - terminals of your 12v battery, or better yet, to + and - bus bars that are attached to your battery. I've liked this amp so far. Good luck.

Yes, should work as long as you convert to 12 volt. Think the wires were a little over 2 foot long. Boat is in storage now. Note: When wiring pump pay close attention to + and - connections. Follow the directions because if hooked up wrong it will fry the auto switch.

Yes, however you will need a 12 volt relay to handle the current to the motor.

No. The batteries are in series typically 36 or 48 volt systems. If you were to hook this up to only one 12v battery in a golfew cart it would drain the battery unevenly and damage that battery

Honestly I don't know. I don't do much boating, but if the connectors are similar to that of a car battery then there's nothing stopping it from working. One thing I do know is that if it's a sealed lead acid battery do NOT charge it when the voltage gets near 11vt. It'll ruin the battery. As far as the equipment is concerned, I must admit there was something wrong with the packing and they sent me the wrong stuff. I bought a different charge controller called the 'cyclopse' and it worked fine.
