Here is what is presently in the starboard transom stern (Striper 2300 WA):
2 x batteries (cannot get to on until I remove the one in front of it
Battery select switch
Trim Tab reservoir
Line from fuel tank to gas valve
Primer bulb for main motor
A rat's nest of electrical connections direct to battery posts
A trickle charger
My initial plan was to mount a proper Blue Sea buss of some sort to clear off the wires from the batteries but I still do not like the proximity of the fuel lines and bulbs to the batteries. There is really no space in there to simply move the wires or the lines.
So then I thought about moving the batteries to the storage locker directly behind the captain's seat. I wouldd then run a line back to the stern with the buss to collect the electronics there and a better line to the helm to collect the electronics up front. There is space and I believe enough room to consider ventilation etc.
Has anyone with a similar layout done this or are there options I may not have considered?
Thanks
