Where are your batteries (and fridge)?
Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2020 1:48 am
Hi all,
In preparation for the summer season and with the need to replace my house batteries, I am wondering where are your batteries located? Our 2009 T28 came with all the batteries installed under the folding map table, but I have read somewhere that this space was originally intended for an onboard fridge. I was pondering moving at least house batteries under the V-birth, in part because I need to increase their capacity from current 70Ah to more like 150Ah (plus solar panels) to be able to run a fridge. Also I have heavy 50Hp outboard, so moving some weight forward might improve the balance - both in the water and on the trailer. Earlier in this forum it was mentioned, that some Telstars came with factory installed fridges So I am wondering what batteries and fridge arrangements were found over the years to work well?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
