That's why I'm leaving the current starting batteries where they are and starting with a relatively small house bank just forward of the engines it will be 4 to 6 105AH DEKA Unigy1 batteries.
Another point many boats do not come with a generator as standard equipment so placement is as important with them as a house bank.
