Tracker 175 battery question

[suddenimpact]

I have a 2012 tracker 175. I put a 55 pound thrust trolling motor on it. Been thinking of up grading to a 24 volt system, my question is....Is there room for 3 batteries? I think there is, it may be tight. Does anyone have or know of someone that has three batteries in their 175?

I just priced one out with 3 batteries. It fits, but tight, according to the dealer.

I had 3 Batteries and a power pole pump in the bacl of mine, it a 2009 175. It was a tight fit for sure.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like I will be moving some stuff around back there then.

As already stated,yes three will fit. I've got a 2011 175 and that's the first thing I did to mine. One mistake I made was I had them to close to the gas tank and the tank couldn't expand and that made the fuel gauge would not work. I took them out and moved them over just a bit and it fixed that. You'll love the 24v TM.

yea that is the way I have mine on my Pt190 cranking is under the splash well .

You will also want to upgrade the 8 gauge wire to 6 gauge for the 24 volt system .
