2016 243VRX here w/Twin 250s. Where is a good place to mount a battery charger? .I just started shopping for a battery charger, and trying to find a place in the engine compartment for it. I was thinking on the horizontal sill just above the starboard heat exchanger where the starboard battery sits (See photo). I just today measured what looks like I may have about 12" x14" of "lay flat" space there to work with or so (some of that space being under one of the hoses, so it may touch that a bit). Plus there are some screws in that sill already for some hose clamps, so that tells me it's cool to put screws in it. If that location won't work, then I was also thinking maybe under the port or starboard flip-up aft seats, but I think the ballast bags will be an issue when full. Also in terms of the battery charger itself, I was thinking getting the "Noco genius genpro 10x2 20 amp 2 bank charger. Is 20 amps overkill for running the music system all day at the marina without running the engine?(with the battery charger plugged into dock power). Thanks in Advance.Starboard Battery Sill.jpg
