Another question!
When I got this boat the cranking battery was located aft and port side as shown by red circle.
The house battery was located in the center storage area.
Storage area is well ventilated as it only is covered by a teak grid.
Would you put both batteries in the RED location?
What would be the best use of the storage location? It is open to the weather.
Or put both batteries in the center storage and mount switch ACR and charger in here??
I like the center compartment, except (and its a big except) its directly behind the fuel tank. If you develop a fuel leak in the tank, fuel or fumes can get into that center compartment. I had a battery there once, and removed it for that reason.
When I had the I/O's, my batteries were in your red circle. One on the port and one on the starboard.
