How are you guys mounting bank chargers in the battery compartment? It is TIGHT in there! I got a 3 bank and I doubt it will fit.

My three bank is on the back wall of the transom in between the knee braces.
Mine is mounted to the transom, it looks like there is a plate it's mounted to. I have a 3 bank dual pro, and I wouldn't say its lacking space back there either, compared to my old boat, its huge. I will be replacing it with a minn kota 345 pc charger soon too.
I would appreciate any pics I can get, I guess I have to build a brace to drill into? Or cross members to go across the braces?

Exactly where mine is, except I have the 6A three bank charger.
How did you mount it, heavy duty sheet meal screws? Thanks so muchOriginally Posted by Skeeterbait

It was factory mounted by Ranger but yes it is mounted with sheet metal screws, not all that big.
thank you sir, I will put some Loctite on mine and go to town
Here is a picture of a 2 bank charger in a RT 178. You can see there is room for a bigger charger and its on my list.
OK, I see what you mean now. Ranger mounted a piece of aluminum in order to mount the charger. I need to get a piece of aluminum made. Not the most ideal situation, but I will figure it out.Ranger mounts a sheet of aluminum plate across the transom braces and mount the charger to the plate.

You can buy small pieces of aluminum at Menards or alot of hardware stores. Use self tapping screws and your good to go.
I went to take a pic for you when you first posted.......I have some mold starting in my battery compartment....ergh!!!! I have had enough of this rain!!!

So I bought a NOCO Genius 3 bank and it's to tall/square to fit. I think I need to look at one that is longer and less square.
Recommend a self tapping ss screw a #10 screw will hold alot a nice hex head is clean too thats how i mounted mine really no locktite required either.

Anybody mount on the underside of the compartment lid?
I think it has been done but after you pic up a dual pro its HEAVY. IMO its alot of weight hanging down and depending on the charger you may not have enough clearance anyway.

Yea, I think I'm gonna have to get an aluminum plate mounted and then mount the charger like others have done.
PTL, I finally got it done! Got the 3 bank NOCO Genius in there and we are charging! Thanks for the pics guys.Ranger mounts a sheet of aluminum plate across the transom braces and mount the charger to the plate.
