Paul, where are your batteries located? I currently have 2 group 24
starting batteries alongside the port side of the engine. 2 T105's in the
little cubby below the power panels, And a 4D under the starboard quarter
berth. The last one I am goint to move to under the port quarter berth. Plan on
converting the starboard q-berth to a nav station.

Flooded, Sealed or AGM? Battery orientationKen,
Thanks for the link. Great read as most of Maine Sail’s articles are. I am
rearranging the batteries in my engine compartment, and I did not think much
about the wet cell battery orientation: port-starboard or stern-bow. As Maine
Sail shows, wet cell batteries should be aligned port-starboard on sailboats.
While on my 29 I had all batteries aligned port-starboard, on the LF38 I have
one wet cell aligned stern-bow which I will look into correcting.

"In response to the concern of spilling acid in a wet cell on a
rail-in-the-water-heel"
Maine Sail has this one covered too. Wet cells won't leak (until you have
already capsized and then you have bigger problems) if the are oriented the
correct way in the boat.
