Thanks for sharing a picture. I thought about putting my batteries in the bow. I don't have a holding tank there anymore, so there is plenty of space. But I did not want to have long cable runs to the engine and the main panel. There is also a weight distribution consideration, which is really minor for me since I don't race my boat.
