Hi, 30+ owners. What are you guys using for a battery charger, and where is it mounted? My boat came with a GUEST 10 amp charger, mounted under the chart table and plugged in to the outlet next to the chart table. This isn't the best arrangement, as the charger must be unplugged to open the table.
Anyone have their charger mounted inside the battery compartment? Which brands will fit? The aft wall of the battery compartment would work as a mounting surface for the existing charger, except that the fresh water pump is already mounted there.
Anyone using a combination charger-inverter? How have you got that mounted and wired?
Another option, I suppose, is to just leave the charger where it is, run the AC power cable into the battery box as well, and splice it into the existing AC wiring in the battery box. What should I use to make a proper marine-grade splice on line-voltage wiring?
Any info much appreciated. Thanks!
Brian
