Ken, Thanks for the link. Great read as most of Maine Sail’s articles are. I am rearranging the batteries in my engine compartment, and I did not think much about the wet cell battery orientation: port-starboard or stern-bow. As Maine Sail shows, wet cell batteries should be aligned port-starboard on sailboats.
While on my 29 I had all batteries aligned port-starboard, on the LF38 I have one wet cell aligned stern-bow which I will look into correcting. - Paul E. 1981 C&C Landfall 38 S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL > On Feb 25, 2015, at 4:18 PM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2015 16:35:06 -0400 > From: Ken Heaton <kenhea...@gmail.com <mailto:kenhea...@gmail.com>> > To: Burt Stratton <bstrat...@falconnect.com <mailto:bstrat...@falconnect.com>> > Cc: cnc-list <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> > Subject: Re: Stus-List Batteries -- Flooded, Sealed or AGM? > Message-ID: > <caabfp6rjkuuht45nj6mevf1mqgxyznnjsmf56ldtwhnaknd...@mail.gmail.com > <mailto:caabfp6rjkuuht45nj6mevf1mqgxyznnjsmf56ldtwhnaknd...@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > "In response to the concern of spilling acid in a wet cell on a > rail-in-the-water-heel" > > Maine Sail has this one covered too.
