Mounting 4th battery

[dperrotte]

An individual at Bass Cat who I spoke with on the phone, has got me leaning to putting in a 4th battery for a 36 volt set up. Initially I was going to do it with my cranking battery tied in for the 3rd battery on the 36 volt setup. He said that some folks have mounted a piece of plywood over the “sump” area, creating a space for the 4th battery. Mount the battery tray on the plywood and go from there. I am leaning this way now and wondering if anyone out there has done this. How did it work? Did you use plywood, or something else. The boat is a 2004 P4. Thanks Dana

I used marine board. Its available at West Marine. I mounted two batteries on each side and made a bridge for the oil tank. I put down some adhesive and screwed it in place. Just be creative and remember measure, measure and measure before for cut or drill. It worked out real well for me.Sheff

Another idea instead of plywood is that white plastic material used for cutting boards. Check with a plastic shop in your area, if you cant find any I should be able to get a piece from a plastic shop in my area and ship it to you if you want to go that route.

The plastic board is called marine board. I think Star Board is a brand name for it. Shef

Thanks for the replies. Thinking the marine board or star board.
