I’m still very much contemplating all of this, so thank you very much for your input.
Where’s the additional 4d? Is there a box glassed in aft of the stock boxes?
I just keep staring at the void forward of the battery boxes and know I can get a lot more power into less space. That plus I’m miffed that I have to replace a 3 year old 4d AGM to the tune of $300 and am wondering if I would be a penny wise and pond foolish not replacing both at the same time, or just ripping everything out and staring fresh which is my inclination. 🙂

In my boat there was no thru-hull in that compartment, but there is a wire bundle and a pair of hoses leading to the water heater in the next compartment forward, plus a run of copper tubing and wires headed for the refrigerator. I had to cut new holes in the bulkheads fore and aft for all that stuff so they could be shifted enough to make space for the five Group 31 AGM batteries I installed. I cut a series of holes so I could move the bundles without disconnecting things, which saved me about a month’s extra work. That compartment is an excellent space for sealed batteries, but not sufficiently ventilated for lead-acid batteries.
