Hello all, I have a 1995 204 DCX elite and am wanting to upgrade to a 36v trolling motor. Has anyone got a pic or know how to fit them all in there? I currently have 2 31 series trolling motor batteries, 1 27 series starting battery, and the oil tank there. It looks like if I downsize to 3 27 series batteries and 1 24 series starting battery. Any suggestions would be great.

If your rear compartment is anything like my 202 space is a hot commodity, I run a 36v system and run 3 31 trolling batteries and 1 31 AGM starter. I place the trolling batteries on each end of the tray and 3rd one where the starter is by the oil tank, I then turned the AGM starter up on its edge in between the two trolling batteries, it's not pretty but its definitely using all the available space to its max and I don't think fish care about what your rear compartment looks like.

If you figure something out please let me know. Just bought a 204 and was going to go 36 volt also. Started looking at it tonight and I don’t know what to do. Change to a different size oil tank is the only thing I can think of.
