Location: Not far enough north! | Mine seems to be getting too hot. I measured with infrared thermometer and it is reading 150 Degrees! I can touch it but not for very long. Scares me a little down under the rod box with very little ventilation. I charged batteries most of the day I ran them pretty hard yesterday but charger worked and finished charging them in decent time. Where are you guys mounting yours? Do you think this heat is excessive?

| I have mine mounted under the driver's console. I don't notice heat to be a problem but I also don't have one of them there fancy heat devices either. I just made sure I had open space all around it when its plugged in. |

Location: NW WI | I had a 3 bank Dual Pro in one boat and a 3 bank Pro Mariner in the other. The Dual Pro got warm..like lukewarm water. The Pro Mariner got HOT to the touch. Both worked just fine and I had the Pro Mariner in a tight area. BUT...if you have options, like anything electric, mount it where it gets the best ventilation and in the case of a charger, if you have to buy extension cables so charger gets better ventilation, that's the better way to go. |
