I got a piece of very good advice from the place I bought my last charger, don't mount it in the engine room over the battery boxes. Heat and caustic fumes are not good for electronics. Exactly where the old one was mounted! |

Exactly where the old one was mounted! it's a pretty good distance from the batteries. looks to be in good shape for the age of the boat |
