My Minn Kota Presicion onboard charger is in route and I had an idea which I have searched but can't find anybody else you have done it before. My boat is a 1248 so space is limited. I was thinking of installing the charger to my garage wall. I would cut the factory connects from the charger and leave them hooked to my batteries at all time. I would then buy 4 of these connectors and put on the cut ends along with the rubber end caps.

This would:
1. Eliminate me having to extend the bank hooking up to my trolling motor due to it being to short
2. Eliminate running the onboard charger wire
3. Eliminate me having to mount the unit in my boat therefor freeing up what limited space I do have
I would simply plug in the 2 connectors to each battery and then plug in charger when I want to charge.
Or should I just extend the trolling motor bank wire and mount the unit in my boat? Thoughts?
