Yes, it was expensive. It does seem well built and has a 5 year warrantee. Hopefully, will never need to replace it.
MK has something similar, for just over $100.

I came up about 6" short on the 6 AWG cable. I did not account for the reoriented batteries. Also need some lugs with 1/4" holes. 
Anyway, I'll return and get longer.
Re-installed the 8 AWG wiring. The max draw on the trolling motor is only 42A. I think the 8 AWG is good for 50+ A, and it is less than a 10' run.
The chargers were moved 4" higher on the same inside wall of the console. The fire ext had to be moved outside, mounted on the non-walk around side.
Able to keep the cellphone cubby.
Included a close-up pic of the connector.
We store only light items on the tray, such as the throw life vest, spare vest, clothing, and screen covers.

Added some black plastic along the front to mount the volt/capacity meters to. Low cost meters and kind of a pain to work with. Still haven't figured out how to get to advanced settings. The basic settings allow for Acid/Li/LiFePO4 and the number of cells. Set to LiFePO4 4 cells. Put each on seperate on/off switches. Something to monitor them with vs going in with the multi-meter.

I like the contacts on Battery Tender connector.

Good looking connectors. I had some problems with my Marineco connector when using it continuously on my big boat. It didn't fail, but when I went to unplug it, it wouldn't. It had gotten hot enough to melt the plug into the socket. It wasn't too hard to get out, but that was an eye-opener.
It was the same day that I overheated the Riptide, so it was probably a good thing the motor quit when it did. I have to remember to keep it less than 85% for continuous running with the heavy boat.
