If the panel on your boat is flat where you want to locate the metering, install the lid of a small Tupperware container on that panel. Install meter onto/through lid.

That may be a good ROI if sloppy battery charging or maintenance is a possibility. The monitor function would be a good deterrent for having to paddle off the lake.
