RE: Battery installations

["Jim Willis" <B06JXW@xxxxxxx>]

My Battery is under the starboard seatee as well.  I was wondering if
anyone had explored putting the battery under the v-berth? I know it's a
long way to the switch panel, but it seems to me that the weight could be
centered just in front of the keel and crew weight in the cockpit would
balance the boat fore and aft.

Thank for the reply Bob. I misread the tip.  I also have thought about the
centerline issue but, like you, want to use the space under the cockpit for
bulk storage. I am leaning towards a location under one of the starboard
settees but need to determine where it will fit since I intend to utilize a
battery box to minimize spill potential.

I beg to differ with you, but the battery installation shown in Tech Tip
E08 is installed under the starboard settee, NOT on top of it.

The starboard side is actually not my preferred location. I prefer the
battery under the cockpit so it would be installed along the center line
of the boat and the hull is balanced left/right. You can also do battery
maintenance easier there. Balance is something that changes from one
boat to another based on what is stored inside. Unfortunately the space
under my cockpit is occupied with other bulky stuff so I've left the
battery under the settee.
