2nd battery location?

ceverley00

I just bought my first boat, a 2002 captiva 232 cuddy with a 5.7 and I'm installing a 2nd battery. I'm thinking I'll put it beside the other battery but it's gonna be a tight fit because of a large hose that I'm not sure what it is. Can anyone post a picture of a similar dual battery setup?

Check out this ad on boattrader.com ... he has two batteries.

Can you put it on the other side? I have my water tank, 2 batteries and 2 fridges all online side, and when the water tank is full the boat lists a bit to port. It would have been better to have the batteries on starboard to balance the weight better.

I added a second battery to mine. It's in my slip now, so I'll take a couple pictures this weekend. The large hose your talking about is the gas fill hose. It is tight, but I fit both batteries on that side.
