The Minn Kota 330D 3 bank charger showed up and I (barely) got it installed in the front port side compartment. There’s maybe 1/2” clearance on either side of this beast. I wanted to go with the smaller NOCO genius charger, but they do not sell a lead extension kit and I need one of the banks to be extended to a total length of about 11’ for this boat. Maybe when this one dies they will have figured that out.

I connected the batteries with the 2AWG jumpers and tested the function. Everything checks out so far. MK sells the lead extension kit as a 15 footer so at 20 total feet on bank 3, I will be cutting that back by several feet and re-splicing to clean up the cables. I need to spend some time using some screw-in zip ties to clean up the cables in these compartments and the wiring portion of this project should be complete.
