I plan to install a Blue Sea mSeries battery switch.
Any suggestions on where to install it?
Couple of ideas I had were:
1. Inside the cabin on the aft bulkhead wall next to DC switch panel. Not sure of clearance behind bulkhead.
2. Inside the lazaret on the cabin bulkhead wall. May be easier to forget since it is out of sight. Could install a LED idiot light to know when power is on.
3. On the starboard side cockpit wall so the rear of the switch is accessible and near the battery box. I think the switch is waterproof and the knob can be pulled off when in the switch is in the off position for security purposes.

Consider this, installed immediately to starboard of the companionway opening.
There is perhaps an inch-n-a-harf of space inside the fibreglass, so everything has to be surface mount there.
