Here are the installed pics
By mounting your amps on the transom wall still allows you to you that port compartment for storage, can't do that the way mine is laid out. May have to rethink it. Could use some more storage space.

. Still lost a little in the back left of the compartment but from the 2nd battery forward plenty of space. Here’s a finished pic with and without the batteries. That XS Power battery is a hoss & might eliminate the need for ballasts - lol

That second battery is a beast. I noticed that my boat was listing a little to the port side with the 2nd battery and audio equipment, so I put 2 50 lb lead bags in the starboard storage behind the driver to balance it out.

@Farny Quick question don't you have to have 2 of the same battery? or you don't need the same battery when you intall a blue sea M-ACR I ask because I want to get a xs power battery but the one that came with the boat is not a AGM

And how long can you run your systhem with the boat off ?

Thank you in advance!!

Hi @Pedrazaj1 , I have 1 XSpower XD 3000 and the stock flooded start battery. The only quirk with this set up is I switch off one of the breakers while charging to avoid combining while on shore charging. I have the NOCO Genius 2 bank battery charger so I can set each bank for charging separately the appropriate battery type. AGM and Flooded.

I have had no problem with the system while not on the charger and just running the boat as normal with the two breakers “on” and the acr combining with the engine running. I have had the engine off running the sound system for a 5hr stretch now with no problem. the ACR disconnects the two batteries when the engine is not running which leaves the start battery full and ready for start up again.

Hope this helps

It looks like you're using a 60 amp fuse on each positive cable is that correct and how did you decide the amperage?

Waiting on same. Tried last year with SeaDek through JBP but the two samples just didn't match (warm interior). Now that they will start carrying Marine Mat, order is in and am on the waiting list. Also decided to cover the table.

So I have everything here and ready to install I just have one more question, so the instructions says that ACR will combine both battery while running to charge them. would this mess up either battery? Even though is 2 different type of battery (FLOODED-AGM)?

No worries there. I spoke to both XS batteries and blue seas asked them the same question you should be fine. The issue is charging them on a shore charger. Just be sure you have a two bank charger where you can set each bank to the appropriate battery type and your fine. I trip the breaker so the batteries are isolated during shore charging. Post pics when done- would be great to see your work.
