Galvanic Isolator mounting location E32-3

Installing a galvanic isolator on Rumour, an Ericson 32-3:



Any suggestions from experience, word of mouth, or hearsay on where to mount this thing? Instructions say to keep it in a dry ventilated area and it only needs to be connected inline of the green grounding conductor from the shore power inlet, which on Rumour is located under the port side stern lazarette. Options I'm thinking about are:

1. Mounted in the port side stern lazarette just after the shore power inlet
2. In the cubby to the left of the DC/AC panels on port side

Engine bay seems like a poor choice since it would require running a grounding wire away from inlet/panel and back

I mounted ours beside the AC ground buss, behind the AC (and DC) panel door.

As I recall, the galvanic isolator on my 32-3 was on the inside face between the helm seats.

Thanks @Loren Beach and @Christian Williams -- I mounted mine under the captain's/helm seat today:




Made some drip loops in the cable to avoid corrosion demons
