Quent, I sure would like to see pix of your DC Generator, that’s another project high on my list.
I don’t think I’m emotionally ready for any of these projects. They are all major surgery.
I like the idea of putting them in the bilge, but I currently have a lot of stuff in the way, fridge compressor, saltwater washdown pump, holding overboard pump… Plus it’s my least favorite place in the boat to work.
Moving them forward in the lazarrette means doing something with the deck drain (what?) and then ‘sawzalling’ while in the lazarette that I don’t really wanna do.
I like the steering quadrant idea, but I think my autopilot’s there too, though it may be above the quadrant.
There’s a huge space between the engine and the fuel tank, but talk about hard to get to and heave a frikkin 4d into!
I actually already have a nice flat shelf in the port Lazarette on the forward bulkhead. I could put one battery on each side.
I think I should wait for the other AGM to die and then replace the whole kit and kaboodle with more, smaller wet cells.

Aaron, no doubt you’re now more confused on this issue than ever. Choose your poison!
My confusion is only because the PO spent megabucks on AGM batteries. I just bought a new 4d AGM and I’d like to keep them. None of the alternate spots seem to want to accommodate 4d’s easily though.
