Default Battery Chargers

OK I know this may sound dumb! But I am in the process of replacing the battery charger in my 2400 SCR!
It has 3 batteries all group 27s, 1 starting and 2 house.
I am thinking of the Norco Gen2 20 amp 2 bank charger or the Blue Sea Battery/Link model# 7605!
What do you recommend or suggest?
All comments are welcome!
Thanks you guys are great!
Don

Could you elaborate on your configuration? Particularly around wiring and inter-connectivity.

The Link will allow you to either charge 2 banks via AC (shorepower) or via the alternator. Are you planning on connecting one charging circuit to the starting battery and the other to the 2 battery house bank?

Hi Shrew!
Yes! I was thinking along the lines of the Blue Sea Link as it has an ACR!
But was also thinking of the Norco!
I just don't know if I should connect the charger to the back of the MBSS (to b1 and b2 ) or directly to the batteries! The MBSS would be a shorter run for the wires, and I think that I might have to lingthen the wires from the charger to run them to the batteries!
Thanks!
Don

Hi all!
Does anyone know the output of the alt. on a 95 5.7 A1 G2????
Boat not near at the time to check it out! I think it is 65 amps! But not sure!
Need to know so I can order new charger, going with Blue Sea Link!
Thanks!
Don

I’m not 100% certain but I believe my 1997 has a 65 amp
