F28 1977, on bulkhead of engine compartment, as I am rehabing my boat, I noticed a black finned electrical device, approlimately 12 in wide by 6-7 inches hight bolted to the bulhead. Any ideas what this thing is?
Disregard this it is a double battery charger, keeping shore power on it now while on cribbing.

Not sure, once I get the engines out for fresh ones, I will study it. Just wanted to know if it was a trojan piece of someone added it later, I havent seen any clues yet as to what it really is. Obviously having fins indicats a need for cooling. It could be as you suggest an inverter of Battery charger but does not have very heavy cables.
Will post if and when I determine for sure what it is and if it is Trojan.
I posted another question regarding, (reluctantly), engine rotation.

I plugged in Shore power, crawled back up there to look at it and lights lit up and it is indeed a battery charger.
Thanks
