Battery relocation

[Holdmybeer]

Looking for any info or opinions on relocating my dual batteries to the port helm locker.

We are looking to store skis in our Mojo and this is the only side with enough length. Move the batteries (longer cables) then I need to modify the carpeted brace just rear of the tower.

Any reason to not do this? Better options for skis? Will it cause any issues to have them 4ft forward (weight issues, etc.)?

Seeing if someone has done this before.

I would not worry about weight to move them. just make sure if you do that the cables are properly lengthened. 4ft should not be a big deal if that's all you need.

in 2 of my prior boats I added a 3rd battery in a completely different location(front passenger locker) and piggybacked off the deep cycle house battery in the rear. years of use with no ill effects.

Have you considered replacing a tower board rack with a wider one to store a slalom ski.

[Holdmybeer]

Yeah was looking at those last night.
It makes the most sense and it is certainly less work.
I have both upper mounts on the tower empty and could just add one without removing anything.

Both of our skis will fit it the dual wakeboard rack. Just worried about damage while cruising not having the width to support.

Don't want to be this guy....

I never even thought about using the upper mounting points. That’s perfect, you won’t have to lose any storage of any kind. The wider rack will support the skis better and will fit a slalom ski equipped with double bindings.

We still ski a lot so we have had a ski rack on all of our boats and they work great. This is a Monster Tower Ski Rack that we have used.
