battery placement

Not sure u have enough room under the bunks for a battery. There is room under the deck right outside of your cabin door. If your fuel tank is not there.

Yeah I didn’t think I had enough room I was just hoping there was.

In the center right before the step down is where the gas tank is. So mine from stern to cuddy step down goes live well, box storage/ fish box, then gas tank.

Other then putting then in the step down in the cuddy they may just have to stay in the stren.

Thanks for the reply!

i would like to get mine out of the stern also. my fuel tank is right up against the splashwell, so boat seems a little stern heavy.

I may drill a few holes to get the depths and see if there is room. I have a bounch of others holes I’m filling in anyways.

I moved my batteries from the stern to the fish box just aft of the cuddy bulkhead (I have an '89). Made a nice difference.

I would be most interested in your findings if you decide to drill depth holes as those would be ideal locations for my planned trolling motor batteries.

Keep the batts in the stern and get trim tabs...

Mine are right outside the cuddy door in a custom hatch inspired by Phatdaddy. Be sure to run 1 or 2 gauge cable. Also you can get a cheap but powerful hydralic crimper from harbor freight.
