Pics of Z519 with 3 trolling motor batteries?

[ChuckS]

Does anyone have pics of a Z519 battery compartment rigged with 3 trolling motor batteries for a 36 volt system? I’ve fished my last season with an 80lb thrust trolling motor. Just not enough juice to keep me positioned in some of the windier days. Currently have two group 31 Duracell deep cycle batteries hooked to an 80 lb Ultrexx. TIA

2 on each side will add one next to the cranking you have now. can get pics this weekend if no one else posts any

Here you go, 2022 Z519:



Cranking battery [series 31 AGM] is furthest back on driver side, trolling battery 1 is in front of it on driver side, and trolling batteries 2 and 3 are on passenger side. Space in the middle is for the spare prop; I use it for a storage box.

Thanks for answers so far. I should have clarified. The boat is a 2016 and has a 2 stroke. So have to deal with the oil tank as well.

In that case something will need to sit on top of the center board designed for spare prop holder. Easy installation, because the board is wide open underneath. Just be sure to use secure hold-downs. Personally I’d move the oil tank because it is less heavy [than an AGM or lead/acid battery]. But if you’re using lithium, or have the batteries very securely fastened down, I would think that the prop-storage board is heavy-duty enough to hold a battery.

These are all GROUP 31 AGM batteries (3 Duracell trolling & 1 Odyssey starting), center battery is sitting on Ranger pultruded composite (very strong) installed when the boat was built.

FWIW and probably not wanting to change, but I went from an Ultrex to a Ghost on my Z519 and that increased the thrust to make the 24v work well IMO

If you go with lithium batteries, it is possible to get 3 50ah in the port side compartment.

Might depend upon the model of the lithium battery, but definitely good to know. My lithiums are 80ah, so they won’t fit 3 to a side.

I have 3 50ah ionic in a z119 - they all fit in the same space that the original two batteries were

Nothing to add to the battery discussion, but John that's a sweet X730 in the background. The benchmark of garden tractors right there

Got the snow blade on already, Bob. And since I do, we’re still hanging in the 50s. Kind of like taking an umbrella to work: it never rains [or snows] when you’re prepared!

Put my blower on last weekend also. It's been beautiful ever since...well except for today!

Room for 3 27’s all on the port side?
