CRC Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Curious where MA18 owners have their starting batteries. Mine is an '01 and its still in the SB rear compartment. Thinking about moving it to console. Never had an issue I just added a new Simrad unit and was thinking about cleaning up some clutter and some re wiring. Looking for opinions.

triplec Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 On my 96 I moved it forward years back. I have 3 group 31 AGMs in the console. It definitely made a difference moving it forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Mine is in the rear compartment but I definitely want to move it. Need room for some hydrailic pumps back there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRC Posted July 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Ill try it in console and see if it changes anything. I have the 2 trolling motor batts up front under the false floor compartment and boat rides so well I dont want to do anything to change ride, but batteries at rear under waterline is never good. Maybe I could rig a tray centerline in the under seating compartment, but I think that floor is just a skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 The console is so huge, it makes sense to put it in there. I just need to do some re-wiring to move it. Probably when I put that shiny new Jackplate on this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
