    Battery compartment pics

    for those with 4 batteries and powerpole pumps how do you have everything arranged? The only 2 things I hate about my Phoenix is the lack of easy service on my pumps and inability to store my seat in rod box. My triton had really great accessibility to pumps.

    Anyone have a solution to keeping pumps out of the way?

    It is easier if you have a four stroke. Not sure where I would have put mine if there was an oil tank. Mine looks about like the ones pictured, but turned 90 degrees counterclockwise.

    I only have 1 pump and now with the smaller batteries I'm able to get to the bilge area and leave the charger on place

    IMG_20170216_164713.jpgI had a sheet metal shop fabricate a plate to cover the bilge area. It's reinforced to support the power pole pumps and battery. Since this photo I swapped out my AGM's for the trolling motor for lithiums. Not the easiest pump access but accessible.
