    I snatched up an onboard charger that was on another fishing forum classified board this week. My plan for the install was to hard wire the charger into a permanent plug that could be easily accessed without crawling in and out of the boat. I’ve had a charger for my bow mount batteries but not the starting battery. Here’s my install with easy plug-in.

    I mounted the charger to a piece of sealed plywood

    Boxed this recessed male outlet at the transom

    Well done sir! I’m curious, why didn’t you just wire both chargers to the same inlet, so 1 cord would power both chargers?

    It does make it nice, having a simple plug mounted. I have both my chargers ran into one plug, and it works very nicely.

    The second cover is a back of the boat fish finder port.
