Mounting NOCO Gen2 Charger in 2009 230?

[wakefan]

Used a NOCO charger all winter just laying it in the boat, and it seemed to work great. Would now like to hard mount it. In my boat there's a battery under each rear seat in the corner. I plan on mounting the charger in the starboard battery locker, and installing the outlet in the cooler compartment. My big question is what's the best way to route the charger cables over to the other battery on the other side of the boat? The cables on the charger already aren't very long, it's stretched to about the limit just running it straight across. Any ideas on how this is done normally? Attachment points, etc? Would like nice clean pro looking install. Thank you!

Here is what I did. I purchased the extra wiring but never used it for a long run. I called NOCO and they did not recommend extending the 6 ft wire run which comes stock on the charger. I don’t know if this placement would work for your 230 but I’m pleased with the placement in my G

On my 09 210, I mounted the battery charger under starboard seat where battery is, then I pulled up the center floor panel and routed the wires under there, put some plastic wire conduit on them, zip tied them, then put the floor panel back. The factory wires were long enough to reach both batteries that way. Worked great for my application.

Thanks guys. Scooter that sounds most like what I think I'm going to be doing. Do you remember what kind of conduit you used, and what you zipped tied the conduit to?

[ScooterMcgavin]

I just used the 1/2” split loom tubing wire conduit, As far as where to zip tie, I’d say run the wires where they need to go and you’ll see where you can tie them too once you get the floor opened up, it’s not like you have a lot of extra wire to work with.

Got the charger installed. Thanks for the help guys. Took longer than it should have, and taking a hole saw to the boat was a bit nerve wracking, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Please show us your placement of the charger in your boat and your charging port location. This question is asked many times on this forum. A visual always helps. Everyone has different ideas on the charger placement location therefore pictures would be helpful to others

Yes, I want to see how it was mounted as well!

Sure guys, here's some various pics. The charger is in the starboard aft locker behind the cooler storage care. I mounted the port inside the cooler area. On my dock, there is an outlet right there, which was a big part of the location decision.

The charger is screwed into the side bulkhead, which separates that compartment from engine compartment.

In the pics going across the engine compartment, you can follow the run by looking for the white zip ties. There was just enough space to push the cables through without having to cut anything.

Not a lot of extra cable going to the port battery, but I think it will be ok. It seems all snug and secure.

Thanks for posting pictures . As you mentioned , I installed my charging outlet on the Port side simply because that is where my electricity is on my dock vs Starboard side . I think many install the charging outlet port placement without this consideration which is a mistake.
