Get a solar charger that has over charging protection. I have one that comes from the factory when Porches are shipped from overseas.

I picked up a low amp solar charger from Harbor Freight for my old work van. Plugged it in to my Accessory plug which was wired to the battery and never had a problem. Cost $20. Has about the same output as a float charger. Are you storing your boat inside or outside?
