Thanks JimFromMd!! Yeah I gathered that as I called them already and they suggested the 1250p....very helpful and friendly. Was it easy to install??

Mine was. I did a direct replacement with minimal relocating. One thing to note is that (at least in my boat) Sea Ray did not include much extra length or service loop on the wires connected to the charger, so I had to move slightly up and left in order to get enough lenth to reach the new configuration. Secondly, do yourself a favor and take the charger with you to your local auto store to make sure you find crimp-on closed loop wire ends that will fit both the gauge of the wire itself (I only had crimp on ends for smaller gauge wires), and also that the hole in the crimp on closed loop connector will fit over the nut/bolt terminals on the charger (I ended up having to drill out the end of the connector a bit). Also unlike the old charger, my 1240p had plastic dividers between each post for the + - Ground and 3 bank setup. The closed loop connector has to fit inbetween those too (I almost had to file them off a bit to reduce the diameter enough to fit between the dividers. All doable... just take it with you so you dont have to make 3+ trips for the right parts you thought you had already :)

Wishing I had a picture for you right now so you could see the dividers I'm talking about. Either way its no big deal to work around. I would say probably an hour to 1.5 hour job, if you have everything ready and in place for the job.


If you have room for the remote monitor screen, it would be a nice addition. I have to tip up my cockpit floor to peek down and see how close to fully charged my batteries are if I'm charging from the generator on the hook. May end up adding the remote monitor screen if I can find a way to snake up the cable to my cockpit battery control switch area. (Which I already know has minimal slack line to work with in the wires, thanks to Bill zz13 who attempted to take his out for another project).
