On fountains they have a plug that is similar to what is on a fork lift.

I have a set off cables that plug into it.

If i can remember I’ll snap a picture tomorrow when I am in the boat, they are nice you just plug it in.

So...How are they best wired? Direct to a battery? To the battery switch?

Thanks,

I do battery switch (out terminal ie the one that goes to starter) so you can select with selector switch which battery you want to charge.

Negative remote post has to go to an engine ground connection of course.

Thanks. Sounds like a spring project.

I think you're wasting money and time. I've had many a boat and never had two batteries go dead on me at the same time. Of course I'm maintenance freak.
Buying a ProMariner ProSport HD 20 Gen4 20 Amp Battery Charger or similar. Plug it in. And Fuhgeddaboudit

Anything can happen. I try to be prepared and will get my boat set up as such.

I once went to Catalina Island for a few days. Got a mooring ball and just got the boat secured when the water taxi came along. I was rushed and forgot to switch off the batteries and left the blower on. A couple days later I took the water taxi back to the boat and batteries were dead. Fortunately, batteries were under back seat on that boat. If I had done it to this boat it would have been a bit more hassle.

This is the end that I have a big heavy long set of jumper cables connected to.

the other end is right under the rear seat just plug it in. Never have had to use for my boat but I have jumped started someone else.

what is nice about it when you plug it in it locks in place.

The cool thing about the Anderson connectors is they make panel mounts for them as well to clean up the look :D
