17' Center Console. Battery in the stern, with a 10-12' (one way) run of 10AWG wire (with 40amp inline fuse near battery) to the fuse panel (with ground bus) in the console. I'd like to add a small onboard smart charger, 4 or 5 amps, mounted in the console. Chargers typically come with 4 to 6 foot leads, and many manufacturers sell an add-on 12 to 15 foot "extension kit." But instead, can I just hook the charger's leads to the main + and - studs on the fuse panel?
