Re: Stus-List 35 MK I battery locations

[Neil Schiller via CnC-List]

Joe,

I put two group 27 batteries in a dual tray in the Port cockpit 
lazerette.  The tray includes a strap to secure the batteries and it 
screws down to the floor of the lazerette.  I then built a box around it 
to close it off.  The connections worked out well.  I fused it on the 
bulkhead under the lid of the box.  The wiring goes through that 
bulkhead and down to the battery switch.  I got the tray at Cabela's.  
All we ever used that locker for was for a four pack of life jackets.  
We moved those to the fore peak lockers.  We use the open storage area 
left for dock lines and fenders.

that side already with the water tank.


I have thought of:

Starboard under the dinette seat up by the mast: Lots of room, but 
lots of wire to run and that brings acid and fumes right under 
someone’s head/butt. Good side is the weight is in the near-ideal place.


In the port cockpit locker: Pretty good place with short wire runs, 
but maybe not the best place for the weight. Also obviously takes away 
from useful storage.


Starboard cockpit locker someplace: This is the good side of the boat 
for weight, but low down near the engine blocks access I use all the 
time to work on the back end of the engine.


Any ideas?

Thanks!

Moyer Marine stocks choke cables in two different lengths. One is quite long

Yep. I forgot to mention that when I say battery box, I mean one that 
includes a tie-down to keep batteries from moving. My AGM


's are not going anywhere unless I allow them to. :-)

A box is still recommended for all batteries to keep things from

So just glass in your existing space.  Brace the batteries down.  Put the
cover over the space.  Acid is contained, batteries can't move, and
terminals are covered.

I had a wet battery not in a box split open in a hurricane and dump the acid
in the bilge, which then also got into a locker where our canned food was.
We were both hungry and lacking power :(

So the acid thing has stuck with me.
