TALL 6v batteries

[Page 83]

Has anyone had success shoe-horning the really tall group 8L16 6vdc batteries (something like 17" tall) into the early PDQ 36 battery compartments (under the helm station?) They weigh 123# apiece but four of them offer 720 Ah of storage, more than two 8D's. I suspect the fluid levels would be hard to check, even with a hatch in the deck above.

hi sandy,

take a look at the lifeline "higher" agm golfcart batteries. they are about 2" higher than regular gc2 format. 4 will give you 600Ah and solve your watering problem.

good luck.

The rear batteries on my 32 are almost impossible to check for fluid levels because or their location. I purchased a system from Camping World that replaces the fill caps with shutoff valves and provides interconnecting tubing so the cells can be filled from a single location using a simple squeeze bulb.

we used the same watering system on our gemini. it worked very well.
