Bob, on Pegasus I have a 4d (house 1) under the port q-berth, a pair of
6volts under the companion way (house 2) and a pair of group 24 for starting
and windlass on the shelf to port of the engine. This keeps all heavy battery
cables (except windlass) in short runs, lessens the voltage
A couple good points were made here. At the present moment my second (44-lb)
anchor and rode are not on the bow--once I add this, it will help with weight
distribution.
The other benefit of moving batteries around would be space gains in the
starboard cockpit locker where I now have two batter
Bob,
For what it's worth, I have 5 group 31 batteries in my LF 38, one in the
forward end of the starboard lazarette (starting battery), two under the nav
seat (house bank 1) with the Electroscan, and two under the port quarterberth
(house bank 2). There are two big red bank switches, one separa
How about more water tanks instead? Cruisers can't have to much water.

I think ABYC is a little to conservative on this issue if that is their stance.

When you add the windlass you'll have the battery!

If it will be very rare to ever need a v-berth house battery for engine
starting, how about, if the need were to arise, disconnect one of the
v-berth batteries, take it aft, and use some jumper cables to get the
engine started.

Fred:
The existing battery location in the engine compartment can hold 2
batteries--one can be the starting bank and the other part of the house bank.
Then if I make 2 or 3 batteries located somewhere forward, they could be
dedicated to the house bank (and I could somehow isolate them from sta

Bob — I would consider sizing the wiring aft from the forward batteries to
allow at least 100 amps, with a maximum 10% voltage drop. This would require
at least 4AWG cabling from under the v-berth to the electrical panel aft;
better would be 2AWG, which would allow you to pull 30 amps with a 3%
