Working on a Victron Smart Shunt install in our 21NE and struggling a little bit with choosing a location that will work. The primary problem I'm seeing so far is the lack of any slack in the existing cabling. For our install they ran the large gauge main wires down and out of the storage box passenger side and ran the smaller gauge charge wires down and out on the drivers side. Both sets of cables are tight and have no slack.
Best I've been able to think to do is to cut the charge negative and extend it allowing me to mount the shut somewhere over on the PS of the box and pull the charge cable over to it. However, even with that solution I'm not left with a lot of give in the main wire. Given that I'm in the fiberglass box also uncertain on the best technique to use for securing and protecting the shunt.
Anyone have any experience with this set up? Ideas / experience on where to mount the shunt? Recommendations on how to extend the length of the charge wire?
Thanks!
