    I guess it depends where the charger is located. In my current rig I’ve got the charger in the compartment with the batteries up near the helm in the floor. I’ve got the cord snaked under the floor and have a nice covered plug right under the throttle control.

    Thanks for bringing that up, It’s something I haven’t thought about on the WX1850.

    That sounds like a good idea I just didn’t want to have to hop in to charge the bat. I saw my boat for the first time last Friday and I am so happy on the color choice, I will post pics as soon as pos. I picking my boat up this Friday.

    My charger is also up front underneath the center rod locker (2010 wx1850). I just run my cord up the small 1/2 circle hole in the rear (moveable) floor piece of the rod locker. The plug is big enough that it doesn’t fit through the hole easily when the moveable floor piece is in it’s place (preventing it from falling under rod locker floor). Just grab the plug when you’re done, pull out some cord, and lay plug to whichever side suits you. I try to make sure the cord is coming out where the rod locker latch is. It doesn’t seem to pinch there at all when the rod locker door is closed.

    It’s easily plugged in or unplugged without getting in or under a tarp / cover. When I’m fishing, I just push the extra cord back down the 1/2 circle hole (without pushing plug down). good luck…

    There is 2 ways that we rig them.

    One being the charger is under the rod locker with the batteries and you just run the cord up through the half circle and plug your extension cord into there.

    Second being add on a cord extension to the charger and run it to wherever is easiest for you to plug into on the side of the boat and put a cord holder in the side where you want it. That way you can plug in without getting in the boat. This option will add some additional cost to the the charger installation though.

    Is there any sort of remote battery status indicator?

    My charger is under the rod storage compartment as well, but I miss having the charging/charged status easily readable without getting to the bottom of the rod storage and moving the floor in it.

    I do believe I have seen one before. Not sure of the brand or where I saw one, but I do believe they are available.
