Here's a mini project story for your reading pleasure. We had a battery fry (140+ deg f!) So we decided to upgrade some bits. We got a new charger, and swapped out 2 out of 3 8ds (the third is isolated, don't worry). While the batteries were out, we were able to access the squishy plywood and the primordial soup underneath. We have now accessed every inch of bilge. New boards went down and then I re arranged the batteries a little to make more sense (port battery goes to port switch, stbd with stbd). The end of the story will require a little trimming/rewiring to neaten up but now we don't have any flickering lights or voltage drops at the electronics when heavy loads come on.
