Re: battery relocation
yeah, I thought about that, couldn't come up with any place better, they were both mounted in the aft splashwell together from the factory, thought about splitting the location, but the gas fumes would still get to the other compartment thru the bilge drains. The filter meets uscg regulation( as long as I keep it tight) for installation in a inclosed area. the only thing that could cause a spark would be switching the battery switch, but its uscg spark arrested,(seeen alot of new boats with simular setups) so it shouldn't give any problem, I thought about relocating the switch topside, but between the addition cable needed and the switch being open to the elements i decided against it. I'm going to install a washdown pump and trim tab pump in the same area( all are spark arested). I kept think about different ways to install it, finnally said screw it, and mounted it where it will be convienent. Everything that may need attention willbe located in the same place.
