I believe the solar charger cord is 6'.
In FL, the battery switch is off, the boat is on a lift and the plug is out.
The bilge pump on that one is connected after the battery switch.
In NH the I have no battery switch.
So far, the lack of a battery switch on this boat has only bitten me when the shop had the battery in place for a few weeks but the solar panel was stowed.
I plan to install one this spring to protect against that.
The bilge pump will be connected before the switch thus allowing it to run on the mooring.
In both cases my 3 watt solar charger has kept the batteries working for 4-5 years.
