    Powerhouse lithium install - turned out nice

    Switched to Powerhouse lithiums for my TM and a dedicated electronics battery. Cleared the bilge area up nicely.

    Unrelated, but what type of spare prop holder do you have in that bilge? Looking for something similar

    Criticism. Don't shoot me I'm just commenting. Since Lithium batteries weigh next to nothing you could move the trolling battery from the Starboard side over next to the other two on the Port side.
    This would give you a lot of room to add a bus bar/fuse panel for the Main battery on the Starboard side and reduce the wires to the main battery down to two.
    Nothing wronng with your layout, it's really neat, just suggesting.

    Bill, the idea on placement was to have easy access to the pumps and everything below the middle tray. Right now if I need to get under there while out on the water I don't need to pull a battery. Yes I'm concentrating weight on the drive side with the AGM, we'll see this Spring if it affects balance and handling. This 921 isn't fast but it will go full trim and normally not do any walking. It'll be interested to see if the change in weight distro and loss of 90+ lbs has any affect. Luckily I went on a diet also so maybe that'll help on the one side!

    Good morning Bill, the 2 on the port side are the troller batteries and the one on the starboard side is the electronics battery. We wanted to keep it like it was from the factory as like Russ said to keep access to the center panel for pump access and keep his prop and cleaning stuff there. You cant fit 3 group 31 batteries on the port side or else that how i would have placed them.

    What AH? I'm thinking of doing this but not sure what to pick. I have a Minn Kota Ultrex 112 iPilot link so I need 3 batteries. I currently have Interstate 27srm and they have been great for two years now with using them a lot.

    I like the idea of 2 36V40AH over a single one in case I have issues I'll have 1 battery that still works.
