Alan de Enfield Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Without knowing anything about your boat, your electrical usage and how you recharge you batteries I cannot comment, except to say I have 6x 220Ah batteries, for me your 1x 200Ah woul dbe no good.

Alan de Enfield Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Just now, Tony Brooks said: Then try getting them onto the top of the uxter plate under the cockpit floor that may well be welded in. Indeed. To get mine into place I either carry then down the steps into the rear cabin, then slide them along the crawl-boards between the engines (with me crawling along behind). I then have to try and lift them up over the edge of the battery box and whilst lying down lower them down into the box. I gave up and lifted the floor, lower them down whnd whilst SWMBO hold them hovering (sh;es a strong lass) i nid into the engine hole and negotiate them around the pipes, cables and fittings and guide them in as she lowered them down. 2x Port side 2x Centre 2x Stbd side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
