I’m going to be mounting my battery charger here soon… like in the next few days and I was wondering where others have put theirs. First off my boat for those who don’t already know is a 1979 Catalina 30. My original charger was located under the cockpit in the qtr berth. It’s a pretty center Al location, but anyone sleeping in there is going to have to contend with it, as well as if you are not careful when storing things it could be in the way.
I was also thinking the port lazzarette and mounting it behind where the cooler is, seems safe enough, unless someone gets really excited when stowing gear in there. There is also the aft bulkhead in the same compartment but that starts moving it farther away from the batteries… granted only 4 or 5 feet farther, but still. The aft bulkhead is actually becoming my favorite location at the moment.
So where have you all mounted yours? Oh and my charger is a Sterling 1240 which is the exact same as the ProNautica 1240.
