Hi, I have 2 Optima Blue Tops in the factory battery hold but am loking at adding a few more for some extended 2-3 night trips. When I am in the cabin facing stern there are 2 "access" panels on both port and starboard, behind there it looks like a lot of wasted space and a possible place to mount some batteries with a host of other items/equipment.
I wanted to post here and get any feedback from you guys on that idea or any better ideas to pack in a few more batteries.
I would use them for a couple of possible uses, run the bait well overnight, hook up an inverter for small electronics and so forth, I am a worrier and just want to isolate the start batteries from non starting items.
I was also thinking of somehow running a charge wire from the engine to charge them while underway, but again, any and all feedback would be appreciated.
thanks
