Relocating batteries & Mounting amps
Not to hijack but when is it recommended to go with 3 batteries over 2? I have two now but was thinking of adding another and getting a Prosport20 plus charger. Also, when should someone think up upgrading the alternator?
Right now I have two amps and probably by the end of the summer I will have three. Two Syn4s and a syn2 if I add another set of tower speakers in the future it would be another Syn4 for a future total of 4.

Quality heavy gauge cable is very expensive for that amount of current without loss and for that distance. Also, you wouldn't want to double the length of the starter/alternator feed without stepping up the gauge. So in any scenario applied to this boat, I just don't feel good about splitting up the batteries.

Well what I was thinking was just moving one of the stereo batteries and running a 0 gauge power and ground and the prosport wires around under the bow seats to tie to the other stereo battery. I would leave the starting battery as is

So you build that spot where your charger is mounted?

Here's mine... 1 starting behind the observers seat, 2 in the bow in front of the hump. Note: I had to relocate my heater but totally worth the space. For reference these are all group 31 agm's.

I like that set up. I just feel like all that space from the hump to the IBS is going to waste! Need to stick something in there and batteries would free up space behind the observer seat for items you actually need to access often
