Hope everyone’s healthy these days. 
I got around to installing/mounting my onboard charger. Pretty simple (now that I moved the batteries under the console). 
Hid the bottom 2 screws under the pad  and used some starboard for backing strength. Everything is through bolted with SS lock nuts  

Im curious. It’s a 40amp charger (10/battery). When I have all 4 hooked up, will it be pulling 40 amps??!! This can’t be the case. I don’t know anyone that has a regular outlet with a 40amp breaker at their house. I must be missing something?

Nicely done.....great to see more DIY on the forum....for me, the more DIY, the more I know how it works and can problem solve on the water if required.

Thanks! That's how I feel too. Never know when you'll need to fix something out on the water.

I just did the same in my console a month or so ago with same charger.  The one comment I will make is that the charger gets pretty warm.  I am not sure why the little standoffs they have on the back of the charger are so short.  I added a small strip of starboard at screw locations to give the ability for more airflow.  My boat is stored inside so I can leave the door open when charging also.

Nice choice going with American made NOCO.  They make a very heavy duty industrial grade product.  You will be pleased with many many years of service out of it.

At least they are designed in the US.  IMG_4380.thumb.jpg.df6a8e2fef4707df19ba75dfaf477f13.jpg
