Cougar FTD Battery Compartment Configuration
I'm in the middle of rigging my new Cougar FTD and could use some input on the battery compartment layout. From what I understand, it’s ideal to keep as much weight as possible toward the rear of the boat. I haven’t mounted anything yet, but I’m having a tough time finding a good spot on the transom for the charger—especially where they’re mounted from the factory.
Take a look at the pics below and let me know what you think about how I’ve got everything laid out so far. Open to suggestions!

I have same boat and run 5 batteries in the back. I have 3 65ah lithium all on the port side. 1 big AGM on starboard side, 2 raptor pumps behind AGM. I fabricated a bridge across the center and mounted a 100ah dedicated electronic lithium. I could not get the power pole charge to mount at the transom like factory had original charger so I have the pp charge mounted in rear storage box behind driver seat. The bridge works well, it does block the pumps however it's east to remove, battery is light and with 4 screws I can have it all out in 5min.
