How to mount solar charger

[SteveHall]

I want to keep the boat battery charged, so I've ordered up a solar panel charger kit - My plan was to make a plate that slots into the flag pole holder of my A frame - really simple and easy.


But the charger I have ended up with looks like it should be on a house roof.



I now need some ideas of how to mount it where it's easy enough to remove when I go out but secure enough not to get stolen or blow off, and out the way of the cover

The boat is backed upto a bush so needs to be forward mounted.

I've got a 10w one, and it bungees nicely to the side of the A-frame on mine. My cleats are on the forward edge of the A-frame tube though.

Since you say you can't mount it to the rear, make a mount that clamps to the front of the trailer, and feed the wires under the cover before putting it on. Think broom stick! It doesn't need to be a 2x4" or anything. Theft, well depends where you live.
