Common Concerns Answered
What if I don't have mounting screws?
This unit requires #6 screws for secure mounting, which are sold separately. Ensure you select corrosion-resistant screws suitable for marine environments.
Is installation complicated?
Installation requires drilling a 3/16" hole for wiring and basic electrical connections. While screws are not included, the overall process is straightforward for those with minimal DIY experience.
Can this power multiple high-draw devices simultaneously?
The total output is 6A, split to 3A per port. While capable of fast charging two devices, it may not sustain maximum output for two simultaneous high-draw devices like laptops without careful load management.
