Mainship 34 battery setup

Hello group,

Curious about how others have their batteries setup on their MS 34 trawlers.
Mainly the number and sizes. I recently bought a 1982 MS34 MK1.
Mine has a genset, bowthruster, and an inverter (not connected at present).
The battery box located under lower steering station seems to be sized for one 4D or 8D battery.
Currently I have 4 batteries spread about the boat: 1 forward for bowthruster, 1 for genset, and 2 batteries in the battery box under lower steering station (1 start, 1 house). All are group 24 except 1 group 27 house.
Want to hear what others have done before I make any changes.
Thanks everyone,
