I LOVED those L16s, Skip. On my old boat (a ‘81 H33 – yeah, I was one of the “Cherubs”) I pulled the pair of G31s out and put in a pair of L16s when I installed the Isotherm refrigeration system (along with a hi-output alt). Remarkably, their footprint is identical to the G31. The biggest difference was the height – about 17 inches as I recall – but more importantly the weight! They’re ridiculously heavy! I had to rig a pulley on the boom to lower them down into the tray which, fortunately, was just in front of the engine directly below the companionway hatch.
But with the installation, I just about doubled my house back from about 190 amp hrs to about 380. Great batteries if you’ve got the space....
