The instructions were very clear that your not supposed to put the charger anywhere near the batteries or in an enclosed space due to heat. So I decided to put it under the nav side console that way from outside the boat I can see if the led lights are showing the batteries are charging 'red', 'charged 'green' or failure 'yellow'. If worried about someone kicking it, they would have to have at least a 60" inseam to reach the back wall.
A bit going on in the pic below. LEDs all screwed into place under the consoles. Batteries and cabling all hooked up, TM tested out. Motor control box was disassembled, cleaned completely of the 1970's grease and re-greased with QS 2-4-C lube, kill lanyard switch wired in and the cabling put through the rabbit hole in the side console which is only sitting in place right now. 1/8" plate AL covered with Nautolex vinyl and in place between the consoles screwed into the console panels. SS grab handle on the nav side, oh and a cup holder by the glove box. :lol:
Tomorrow the bow deck with get some vinyl and riveted down. Maybe get some work done on the back casting deck frame too after I get the side panels riveted in place.
