I purchased a Minn Kota On-board charger (MK 330D On-board Charger (3 bank x 10 amps)) for my Lowe 180W bass boat (2003).
It's pretty heavy, 20lbs, so I need mount it securely.
I've attached two picture showing the port side of the middle aft compartment and where I would like to mount it. FYI, on the starboard side are my 3 batteries. I was hoping I would have access behind the port-side aluminum wall (shown in the photos) to attach nuts (for bolts) or add additional brackets to beef up the wall if necessary. Well, after a thorough investigation, I have have zero access to this location. It looks this hidden cavity might be filled with hard foam. I know the gas tank is not there since is it's below the seating area. Can anyone verify this cavity is foam filled on a 2003 Lowe 180W?
Does anybody have any recommendations on mounting a 20lb on-board charge in my situation? If the port-side wall in the aft cavity is strong enough (again, can anyone verify?), I thought about using stainless toggle bolts but it's a little scary drilling into something that I don't know what's behind.
Thanks in advance for your help.
