    196 battery compartment

    I got an 03 196 trying to fit 4 group 31s in the back, anyone got any suggestions or pics of their setup? I have an oil tank and power pole pump in the way as well. Thanks fellas!

    I only have three,, but I'm thinking about this. I think you might be able to move the oil tank aft on the Stbd side, and move the pole pumps to the aft shelf on the port side.

    Once upon a time I had the same set up. Can't remember the exact configuration except the pole pump was tucked WAY up under the gunnel on the port side.

    My oil tank has a fill fitting on top of the splash well so it would be tough for me to move it somewhere else. F0BACE43-4D10-4CF5-ADA0-2D54B7CB0C6C.jpeg

    That’s how I have them currently sat in trying to decide if it’s the best option or not.

    I separated my graphs from my motor and pumps since I’m running 3 graphs and active target. I have a cleaner image on my graphs and it lasts much longer. I have an islolator that kicks in so the big motor charges both my cranking and graph battery while running.
