Don't think you should put an "outlet in the laz". I would think a charger should be hardwired to your ac panel, with a switch/breaker.

I agree, but I got ProMariner charger and they come with a plug...

Cut off the plug and hardwire it. The plug will not be sealed and will be subject to corrosion that will increase the chance of fire. Plugs can also become unplugged.

Agreed, but that voids the warranty. My thought was I'll get an outdoors extension cord, cut off the female plug, and hard wire IT. Once the warranty period is over, I'll do exactly as you suggested.

Sooo, I bought a replacement plug for an outdoor cord, and installed (well, a friend of mine who used to wire Blackhawks did). After warranty expires, I'll hardwire the sucker in.
