Pantera 2 and Power Poles

[PushinWeightBaits]

The increase in price of the Eyra is forcing me into a Pantera 2. My concern with the model is the size of the back battery compartment. I’ve seen the model in person and it looks tight. Is it difficult to fit 3 AGMs and 2 Power Pole pumps??

Gonna depend on whether or not you get the pony tank installed.  I have a Group 31 AGM on the starboard side along with my Noco Genius 10×3 charger, and on the port side I have two 80ah Amped Outdoors Lithium batteries.  I do not have the pony tank in there and could very easily fit power pole pumps.  I think even with the pony tank, if you do it right you should be able to get the pumps in there.  Its just getting in the bilge area to do the work that is tough.  A contortionist could have some fun but a middle aged dude who doesn’t stretch often enough will be winded and sore by the time they are done.  I fit the latter.

Since there’s no oil tank on the 4 strokes, it’s pretty open back there.  I only have one pole, but it looks to me like 2 would have been easy.

Good point on the oil tank, without that in there on the new 4 strokes, you definitely have room for pumps even with a pony tank.

With the 4s Mercury ProXS, there is now plenty of room in the bilge even with the kicker gas tank. Should be no issues.

I just purchased a 2018 with a 2oo SHO and 2 Power Poles….Plenty of room for the pumps. I have 3 batteries in the rear and i think it could take another…Have to look again to confirm.
