Looking for a little advice on a possible location for a battery bank.
Currently I have 2 banks located in the observers compartment. 1 bank of 2-12 volts for the starter and house loads, and the other bank is 2-6 volt AGM's dedicated to the stereo.
I would like to add 2 more 6 volts for a total of 4 dedicated to the stereo.
I was looking around the boat and noticed I have a great deal of room under the rear seat over the top of the transmission. If I built a custom battery tray back there I could get all 4 of the 6 volts situated back there which would do 2 things, free up space in the observers compartment and center the weight (300-ish pounds ) in the back of the boat.
so here is my question, this location would put the batteries within proximity of the gas tank.
Am I stupid for even thinking I should do this? has anyone done anything similar?
Thanks
