I also put the cheapass trailer connector on my cheapass harbor freight charger to negate having to open the pelican box to charge the battery. Probably a good idea to crack it open while charging to dissipate heat, but I don't have to hassle with the inside wires to the battery.

I also have a Mad Frog transducer arm. I use one of the Scotty 3-way mounts and was able to bolt the Mad frog arm to its' ledge ( not the one that has slots for Pliers and lures) so the transducer sits a few inches off the hull, but is free to swing inboard for launch and landing. Plus it gives me 3 Scotty receivers fOr rod holders and my fish finder. I did buy a shOrt Scotty extender to get the whole shebang high enough off the deck so it would clear the rails.
