This is an old post but I’m throwing it in here anyway in case it helps anyone. I installed a promariner 360elite four bank charger this weekend in the 170cc, largely overkill but I have a house battery and will be installing a trolling motor shortly with two more batteries and I am simply impatient. I don’t get to use the boat as much as I would like so when I do get to go out I want it recharged and ready before I am and I like long days on the water fishing.
I opted for the four bank simply for the maintenance of all batteries while the boat sits, especially in winter when the boat can sit for several months. The down side to this, I don’t have enough space to mount it in the center console without it blocking in the trolling batteries (which would be a real pain when they need to come out). I have seen some people putting hatches on the drivers side which I may have to look at to solve this later on but for now it works well.
I have the house battery under the rear port side seat and tied it as well as the starting battery back to the center console with two 15’ extensions through the existing plastic tube that runs under the floor to the back. That was easier and harder than I expected, once I found the tube it was a matter of getting my hand in there to catch the tape and then it was cake. I then mounted the remote plug in as well as the remote charge monitor on the port side of the center console so it was easy to use when backed into the shop. One other note, I didn’t know how the roplene would do with the weight of this thing hanging on it when it’s 100+ outside so I added two aluminum bars on the inside to spread the weight, no idea if that was needed or will actually help but I figured I would try.
I will attach a couple of pictures but be warned it’s raining here and the boat is a muddy mess at the end of this install.
