   Hi Ian - 
I'm going to try this:

https://www.victronenergy.com/chargers/blue-smart-ip67-charger-waterproof

12/25 hopefully is a good way to go, and a lot less expensive than a new inverter/charger.  

Agree, getting to 100 occasionally is important.  Right now the only way that happens is if I motor for an extended period - then the twin 12-12 DCs eventually get you there, but at ~1000Ah it can take awhile at 60A... (5 hrs to go from 70 -> 100% SOC) 

Excellent comment on the disconnect - I do have an isolator switch - the main positive goes through it before it goes to the distribution bus bar - you just can't see it in the photo as it's on the side where the breaker panel is (in the photo it would be beneath the USB charger that's plugged into the AC outlet in the upper right of the image).
