Center console

[macojoe]

if they were mounted in the rear of the boat, there should be something on the flor were they straped them down??

Were do you want to mount them?? *Do you have room in the Conole? that would be a great place for them and will center there weight.

You can mount in the rear and put in some nice boxes and strap down tight, put toghter or one on each side of the boat?

The question is not were we put thm its were would you like them to best fit your needs?

Good Luck

My battery and oil are both in the starboard side of the transom. When I get to the helm there is a major list.

My '74 CC is original and the batt is mounted under console-you should be able to find a couple of screw holes where the strap securing the battery box was screwed down if your's is like mine. The thru-hulls you mention are on mine-the two on the transom are the actual drains for 1) fuel over-flow from neck of fuel-fill and 2)drain for any water accumulation in depressed area around fuel fill. they are two totaly indepedent but identical drains--and there should also be 2 thru hulls on the side which are obviously "teed" into these drain lines which serve as a "breather" ( just like any house drain is plumbed)-regards

I've had 1 Whaler , 1 Aquasport and 4 Mako center consoles and they were all under the console. My little Mako 17 only has one under the console but the others had two with a battery switch...Frank

Thanks that makes sense. I will check it when I get time.

Hi new to group I have a "77" v-20 cc and the batteries are located in the hatch in front of the transom at the motor, in battery boxes that are straped down so they don't slide around. Great Group hope to learn alot!

On my 84" the battery is in the rear under the splash well. The pro to this, as everthing has pros and cons, the shorter length of cable to carry the high amps for the starter, which also means less voltage drop.
