On my 34, a couple years ago I rewired my batteries, starter, alternator, installed a Victron BMV-702s, blue sea switch and ACR, plus some bars and breakers.
I wanted a location that was near to the batteries, engine room, and fuse panel. The batteries were under the quarter birth so I installed the shunt, ACR, buses, breakers all on the plywood board that separated the battery compartment from other storage under the quarter berth. I took that board home and worked on it there, naming it my "shunt board." It had things mounted on both sides of it and has worked out really well. No problems since installing it. I got the Bluetooth dongle for the Victron and can check the battery stats from the cockpit easily. Eventually, I surface mounted the Victron display just under the VHF beside the fuse panel above the nav table. This page is very useful and I utilized its previous version (on pbase) for my install: https://marinehowto.com/installing-a-battery-monitor/ Cheers, Jeremy '78 C&C 34, #41 Vancouver Island, BC ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brad Crawford <bcrawf7...@comcast.net> To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Bcc: Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2018 15:27:27 -0700 Subject: Stus-List Battery monitor shunt location I recently purchased a Victron battery monitor and am wondering where others, particularly 36' owners, have mounted their battery monitor shunts, if they have one?
