I own a Freedom 235 Dual Console and have purchased a NOCO charger to charge both batteries onboard. Where have other forum member mounted their chargers, and where did you cut the 2" hole for the NOCO remote plug in point? Thanks for any advice.
 
What mounting area do you have near the batteries? But not above a battery - that is generally a big no-no, especially with lead acid batteries. It's all really pretty much straight forward. Are you limited by cord length and charger lead length? A lot of this depends on the model. But in the end, it's just a couple of screws.

Will need more info on the "point" that you are talking about.
 
There is an area opposite the batteries, inside the bilge, on a vertical surface which also holds the primary fuel filter. It is 2-3' away from the AGM batteries to be charged. NOCO sells a covered "port" which allows an extension cord female plug to be connected, so you don't have to open the battery compartment each time you want to charge the batteries.
 
I think if you can go to the left or right of the filter, or above it, you'd be fine.

Port - I think I know what you mean. I've used something like that from Marinco many, many times.
 
Here’s where I put the Marineco bulkhead plug on a Freedom 215. The charger was mounted on the inside of the same bulkhead.
