    Default 3 bank battery chargers


    If you were going to mount a 3 bank charger..what kind would you recommend and if its on a Fisher 1654 jon boat with an extended front deck where would you mount it? Ive got a 24V trolling motor with the 2 batteries under the deck as far toward the middle of the boat as possible (just inside the storage hole). Then a single battery in back for the electronics. Maybe mount one under the front deck? I though it would be convenient to mount it inside the boat in the back...but it would be exposed to the weather more there. What about mounting it back there with some sort of metal cover over it? Any input would be appreciated.

    Your right about Satellite internet! I would put it in the middle with the two batteries and run a set of wires to the electronics battery. Good luck

    You don't have to worry about these new ones being exposed to the weather. They are completely sealed and no moving parts.

    John. Im aware of what a battery box looks like. Or are you suggesting I put the charger in a battery box? I am talking about a box to protect a battery charger. Not a battery.

    I've had a Minn Kota brand for about two years and so far so good.

    It has 6' charging leads, the IOM says if these are not long enough to install a terminal block in between then a fuse within 7" of the battery.

    They advertise it as waterproof so where you mount it should not matter a lot. Go for convenience!

    I've been running a 2-bank MinnKota for three years that is exposed to the weather with no problems----just put a 3-bank MK on my new boat.
