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.
