Wes AB24 Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Hello! Just got my first pathfinder 2400 2002 vintage. Hull is great, original layout, no major mods, etc… I need to find a better place for the trolling batteries than the front hatch, they are sitting at a steep angle but don’t want to loose the fresh water tank option and inspection plate for top of fuel tank. Would like to move start/house battery forward also as a heavier motor is inevitable Any ideas or best practice? Anyone mount their batteries to the tanks inspection plate?

HoneyB Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 I have my batteries in my console. If I ever have the need to look at the top of the gas tank I guess I would have to move some stuff. Not a big deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does the fresh water tank option go? Have the same boat, working on moving all my batteries to the console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes AB24 Posted November 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 6 gallon water tank is right behind the center consol baitwell. Takes up a ton of room since the recirculation pump is restricting forward positioning of the water tank as well. 3 batteries will fit, 2 group 27 on the trolling motor and a 24 for the start/house battery along with this water tank. The fuel inspection plate makes it challenging to mount the group 24 start battery since it sits at an angle. The battery tray will need a piece of starboard under it to make that level. I will post photos once this is complete. I am about the pull the 4 awg wires to the anchor locker area to the trolling motor plug, how hard was this pull? I assume there is not a rigging tube running up front on a 2002? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGolz Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Not sure if you've pulled it yet but I've got a TM plug on my '03 and can check the routing later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
