Battery placement on the 2006 Sabre

[angler557]

Just curious if the Sabre is the only boat that has the trolling batteries located on the driver side. Or maybe my boat is the only one like this. I know the PIII I had a while back had the standard placement with the trollers on the passenger side. Also, how hard would it be to swap them back around and would the cables extend that far ? Thanks , Brian

Plugging the holes with glass and moving them is not a major job. Though on a Sabre they are compensating for passenger weight. The P2 has some mounted that way for future fuel tank installs. This is being looked into now and not sure on lacement going forwards.

I wasnt sure if this was done by design. I fish alone 95% of the time during the week as my schedule warrants and Im no little tater (240lbs) The moving of the trollers to the passenger side would help the amount of lean Im getting just prior to plane and stability of the boat on top end. Or I could go on a diet… This Sabre is a pure joy to drive but is SOOOO trim sensitive. Not a bad thing, just something I need to adjust to. Awesome boat !!!

The tweaks on the hull are done for overall use on a Sabre. There are ways we can tweak it to trim positive in areas, for your specific uses, and we have done this for those crappie cruisers who only want a Slllooowww boat. IT would adjust that list, though another simple method is to tweak the load as you suggest. BCB

Interesting. I too have a 2006 Sabre, but the trolling batteries are mounted on the passengers side.

They have been moved around over the years trying to meet the needs of those we hear input from.
