Mounted two heavy duty marine batteries in starboard transome compartment using a Perko 2 battery switch. (1,2,both,off) Always run in 1 or 2 when possible. Make sure to use tinned copper connector cables to prevent corrosion.

Just remember to wire the bilge pump directly to one battery.

If you have the transome scuppers, you will need to make a platform to sit over the tubing that travels thru the compartments. Pending on the height of the batteries....this could cause you to not be able to use the seat cushions on the flip out transome seats on some earlier models.
