I just purchased a 2011 sailfish 2360 and i want to install a three bank charger. Im keeping the boat on a slip and want to keep the batteries charged when we are hanging out at the dock. My question is about running the wires. I was planning on mounting it in the center console between wiring hatch and the battery hatch. My issues is getting the wires from the batteries to the charger. I have to drill a hole for them to pass thru, but whats the best option? The toilet is mounted in a tub basically, and I dont know if its a good idea to drill a hole in it. Does anyone have a onboard charger in their 2360? thanks guys!

Not sure I quite understand your plans but if mounting on the wall of the console, drill a hole and run the charging lead down to the batteries using the same chase way as your other electrics.
I installed my Powermania charger in my foot locker under the helm. No holes other than mounting holes and out of sight.

Check out the Minnkota. Its a fantastic unit, probably the best on the market. I put mine on the back wall under my feet too. I did drill a hole for the flanged inlet which is just a plastic recepticle for the minn kota plug and has a rubber cap on it. The hole is on the side of the foot storage near a T top support, but I’m in a 270CC, YMMV. I drape the extension cable over the gunwale and plug it in. Has been great. The holes I used to mount the charger go into the inside of the console. I had my wife push the bolts through from inside the console and I used nuts and washers inside the foot storage unit to hold the unit. I also have rubber washers between the unit and the fiberglass to help dampen the beating but I don’t guess that makes any difference. You can’t see any wires inside the foot unit. The out going wires go to starboard and the unit is close to that side. The incoming AC cord goes to port and is laying in a little path. Worked out great. Bolt heads are the flat type and are behind the table storage in the console. If you look up any for sale 270cc where they show the inside of the head, you will see the table storage.
