Good idea, Mark, on mounting it in the front. I have to actually step over my cord to get to the driver's door so the only reason I put it on the side was for aesthetics. But, mounting it in the front is more practical. One "extra" step I took was in sealing the backside of the connector/mount. There is a rubber boot that comes with it to seal where the heater cord enters the mount. I added a GENEROUS amount of marine silicone inside the boot and on/around where the cord actually attaches. These Marinco plugs are quite easy to get, but if anybody has a problem, let me know. One of my jobs is at a marina (yes, we do have marinas in PA!).
