Is there a recommended place to mount a on board battery charger on a 96 PII?There was not a charger on board when I bought the boat so not sure if it had one originally or not.

Typically, the on board charger on boats of the 90s were mounted on the inside back transom wall, centered. Would have had a Lester on board charger as standard equipment. Some people are building a bracket over the bilge area for mounting.If it were me, I would just get a portable charger and not worry about an on board charger now. Gonna be less weight back there on a 96 PII…and that boat at that age isnt going to lose weight anytime soon.I added a MK 330 charger to the 96 Eyra that I bought used 3 yrs ago. In retrospect, if I had thought things out, I would have just left it empty.96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

I changed the charger out on mine a few years ago. I mounted it under the lid on the passenger side of the boat. My original charger was mounted where mphenry described.

I wanted to make sure it was safe to drill holes in the back wall area of the bilge. Is it thick enough and nothing behind it?I see the support bar for the jackplate back there.

BE very cautious on the rear of any floor area, though the transom should be fine.

I have used a humongous 4 bank minnkota for a year now with clips on it and used it as an external. Fooey to onboards for me. C.O.D. Jr. III
