Anyone have pics to post of dual battery's set up in the console ?
Thinking about doing mine - moving the single battery from the transom compartment, up to the cuddy. Set one up for starting, the other for all electronics, lights, pumps and a switch for either and " both " in case I need extra starting juice. I have an idea going so far to avoid most visible wires and securing the dual batteries. |

This is on my list of things to do too! I hope someone posts some pics. I bet Destroyer has 2 or 3 batteries in his V21.

No, I don't have a dual bat system yet. It's one of my "to-do" projects. I already have the dual battery switch wired in, now I just have to run the cables, etc for the new location. I'm going to put mine right where I put the new hatch in the deck. (Just about even with the pilots chair, in the center of the deck). Seems a perfect place for me. It removes some weight from the rear and re-positions it in the middle of the hull. Can't think of a better place, just seems a natural.

I moved my batteries to my cuddy this past summer. Next chance I get I will get some pics. You're gonna need some heavy wire. At least 2ga to go directly to the motor.

I went outside and took some pics.
![]() ![]() Luckily the boat is shrink wrapped and I can still get in. The wiring is a little messy because it was all moved around when I moved the batteries. And I wanted to get out to Tice's. ![]() ![]() Hope this helps.

I'm not much for wiring............and the shop I prefer tells me it will be a costly project.
Hum..........maybe I should stick with installing new cup holders .... |

I'm not sure how this will help ya but here's the setup I did in my Monte Carlo
Not quite a finished product yet but functional... two of the batts are on one bank and the third is on the other... The eventual plan is put all three on bank 1 and a 4th starting only battery on the other side of the boat as bank 2. The single starting battery will be for both engines and the generator. And the 3 will be for house functions only unless I need to flip the switch for a dead starting batt. IMG_1132.jpg IMG_1135.jpg IMG_1137.jpg |
