Where to mount NOCO GCP?

[Noles187]

For those of you with onboard battery chargers, where did you mount your charging receptacle (aka NOCO GCP)? I want it to be somehwere I can plug it in while the cover is still on.

Mine is mounted on the port side of the Center Console… personally I would not mount it on the outside of the hull. You can just run the cord under the cover.

Why would you not mount it on the outside of the hull?

This sounds subjective… I don’t like the idea of it being on the outside of the hull. IMHO the only thing on the outside should be a thru hull fitting sealed with 4200 minimum.

I sure like the name of your boat!

Thank you!

I second that. Just can't see myself or letting anyone make a hole in my new boat for that plug. Cringe just thinking about it. I mounted mine next to the Battery Switches and just run an extension cord under the cover from the rear deck.

I have mine mounted on the starboard side right above the wash-down hose receptacle on the 210. That is hardwired into a 4 plug surge protector that all three of my chargers (2x victron and 1 noco) are plugged into. I second the idea of not having it on the outside of the boat, I guess for me i boat in salt water and i also don't want any penetrations through the hull. The cord easily snakes under the cover.

I mounted mine on port side about 2 feet forward of the gas cap. I don't have a pic handy, but it's mounted just under the graphic as the graphic tails off toward the front. This isn't my boat, but I labeled the location with an X so you can see.
