try http://www.omnova.com check under marine section. Most chandlerys can supply it and may have samples.

NO,NO,NO. mount the charger in the salon starboard side aft behind the last sliding door that way it has ventalation (panel open) & no moisture. Pictures can be supplied. If the chager has a built in meter u can monitor what the batteries are getting.
