    Except for the fuse in each line they are not repairable.

    If it were me first I would pull cover and check obvious things first like bad thermal overload, bad capacitor, or something as simple as a loose wire. You need a decent multi meter to check.
    or have you tried contacting the manufacturer?

    What charger do you have? Dual Pro Sportsman and Professional series chargers are repairable. Most others generally aren't, though things like temperature sensors can be replaced.

    This is what I have. I called the manufacturer they said they don't repair anything made before 2006 and mine is 2004.

    I have fixed those before. The Dual Pro cans aren't hard to open and they aren't epoxied inside. If you are adventurous your can pop the can off by unrolling the crimps on the back side and giving it a look. Usually the transistor mounted on the aluminum piece goes bad and signs of overheating are pretty obvious.

    What do you have to lose? Worst case scenario is you have to buy a new one!

    Cabelas and the BP editions are both made by ProMariner and re-branded. My theory is: Why not just buy a proMariner.
    Brian has them at BBGMarine for a ton cheaper. I just installed a ProSport20plus. It is a 3 bank 20amps 12/24/36v charger
    I had a dual pro on my other boat and installed one in my fathers and didn't have any issues with those either.
