My M-17 had three battery locations set up. The past owner experimented with multiple batteries for extended trips and the need for extended battery power. He had the original Port location forward of the Port locker plus additional full size deep cycle marine batteries on each back corner of the cockpit. I think he was worried about battery fumes from charging. This may be a concern for you as well if you run a gas stove as we do by the sink in the cabin. We also installed a water tank at the bow under the V berth. We only use the original Port battery location as we did not like the weight at the back. We also have a solar charger that does a good job of keeping up with our needs. We are also going to be converting lighting to LEDs.

If you need a large battery for an electric trolling motor it has to be located as far forward as you can. I was only looking at a small amount of 12 volt DC power for my GPS (to save on replaceable batteries); and for a little "pancake" SONY CD player, for enjoyable music while sailing. My solution was to install a small motorcycle battery inside the starboard storage area under the berth. It was easily accessible; the weight was negligible; and I could easily take it home for recharging. I installed a small electrical distribution panel against the hull just at the aft end of the berth. I ran my wiring through a piece of small diameter plastic pipe, which I could bend to conform with the curvature of the M15 hull. The location of the electrical panel allowed me to plug in a cigarette plug to power my accessories. Connie
Bill,
On my M-15, I placed my battery in the forward hatch on the center line. I was the first to install elec. in my boat, so I did not have any of the relocation issues that you mention.

Already have the battery box w/ straps in the existing position. Will have to extend a couple of other smaller wires that are direct wired to the battery (w/ inline fuses). I think I would run all the cables up along the bottom of the V berth aft to the compression post area where the charger and panel reside. I followed your lead on sealing off the aft gas locker a few years ago. Doing a new battery shelf can't be any worse than bending over into that aft locker, trying to get the glass strips up into place without them landing on your face :P Bill On Thu, Dec 6, 2012 at 5:08 PM, W David Scobie <wdscobie@yahoo.com> wrote:
