Where would u guys mount it? I haven't bought it but am thinking about cuttin a hole in the engine hatch cover not crazy about the idea though. Other alternative is leaving the engine hatch cracked with a cord hanging out .

Hmmm....What would MOP do?

What is it? If it is a 12V source for phones etc. (just a guess) it should be mounted in the dash, or under the dash. If it is for charging the battery ?? maybe you can remove the screen in one of the rear air vents and pull a cord out through the vent?? Cutting a hole in the engine hatch doesn't seem like a good plan.

TY Boatnut, It's a mounted battery charger against my engine bulkhead. I will lead the cord out of the vent :wink:

I assume you are using one of their float chargers? Why?

I have a 1000 watt stereo :)
After a long day at the lake my battery gets purdy low.

Mad, When u say under the seat (rear I take it) all the way to the starboard side between the wall and the cooler? I would have to drill a hole through the bulkhead and then I would have a straight shot with no insulation interferance? How thick is that engine bulkhead? I would want to start my 1 7/8" hole in the cockpit no? I pic where u recommend the jack installed would be AWESOME if possible. How high off the floor etc.
