Fish Farmer Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Just installed a Minn Kota 2 bank charger in my Aluminum boat, First the dealer didn't know, was in the install instruction book. My guess was something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Farmer Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Your welcome Kalvin I mounted mine on a piece of 1" plywood, countersink the bolts, piece of thin plastic between the plywood and boat then bolted the plywood to the boat.You would think there would be a better way. Man with the weight of the charger, 2 X 27 series deep cycle batteries and 80 LB Minn Kota Ipilot, Boat should plain out no problem . Can't wait to try that Spot Lock jigging in 80 FOW.

DRIFTER_016 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 My charger has been secured directly to an aluminum bulkhead in my boat using stainless screws for many years with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 yadda yadda yadda.... galvanic corrosion. Better safe than sorry, but it's probably not going to happen in your lifetime. Now try mooring your aircraft at the end of a dock, with a 3600 volt submersible cable in the water under the float tips and a 52 volt DC phone line under the bows and you have yourself a sacrificial plating situation. Thankfully I noticed after 3 weeks on that dock a few years ago... but still have the severe pit marks to show it. Another 2 weeks or so and it probably would have sunk.
