Mounting Battery Charger

[Bruce Morgan]

I bought a new 2 bank charger for my 97 Nitro 700 lx dc and I am looking for suggestions on mounting it. If I go by the directions that came with the charger... well their isn't a good place to mount it, so I am going to have to fudge on the directions a litte and was wondering what others did to mount their charger.



Pictures would be good if you have them

Mine is below the dry locker on the starboard side of the boat (Nitro 896). I don't have an external connector mounted on the fiberglass so I just pull the dry locker insert out and plug it in. You have plenty of cable so you can mount it almost anywhere. Trep might chime in since he has a 700.



Good luck!

I mounted mine in the bilge area on a bulckhead seperating a dry compartment. Works perfect. I hope the picture works.







I also mounted the connector. I drilled the hole in the backsplash; works perfect, looks good.

On my 97 700XL I mount a three bank guest on the transom, just below the motor if I remember right. First mounted some treated 2x4 the charger to the 2x4's. Probably don't need to but I did for shock absorbsion. then ran the cord out hte same hole as the motoer cables. I have the thru hull fitting but got chicken when it came to to cut a hole in the boat. Worked great for seven years, sorry no pics sold the boat.
