I have the link 2000 and a freedom inverter/charger and they work fabulously together, on the hook or at the dock. I still haven't figgered out all that the 2000 can do, and just generally use it for state of charge, amp hr usage and so forth. Overall it's a nice system, but the 2000 can be wacky at times. Starts reading strange voltages and won't turn on the charger. When that happens I have to reset it. I've had it replaced once and still the same, so I suspect it's a design issue or something weird about my wiring.

Word of warning about aux power (solar/wind): remember to switch it off while charging or it can screw up your charger into thinking the battery is at capacity.
And if you get a voltmeter, remember that there can be as little as 1 volt difference between a battery that's charged and one that's almost dead.
