I just installed a Cobra 1550 inverter into my 185s. It was supplied with #4 cables, about 3′ each. I set the inverter under the sink, and the battery box is about 6 inches away…two holes in the top corner of the box for cabling and I was using it last night to power my dremel tool for some pilot holes for bungee eyelet mounts.
All good, CheersHere is a shot of the two Rotopax. The yellow one is screwed thru the wall right into the mount. for on the other side is a storage box where the legos are kept, so that was easy.
On the outer flap for the gas can, I added a piece of hardwood, glued and shallow screwed to the inner flap wall, then I screwed the mound and its base to the hardwood, with piloted flathead wood screws, wood was HARD, maybe a little overkill, but I’m not sure what exactly that flap wall is made of.Here is a better shot of the gas container. You can see that it tucks right into the existing framework of the underflap. The hardwood board runs horizontal and is screwed in to the vertical pieces on both ends, and is glued and shallowed scewed to the innerflap.
I got lucky. I ordered a 1 gallon RotoPax for my 2200 gen fuel. I wanted it outside so I tried it up under one of the rear ‘flaps’ on my 185s. It just fit, uncannily perfect. Also, not pictured, I mounted a 2 gal diesel RotoPax of opposite wall, that I hope to NEVER use.
