As part of big electronics upgrade (I’ll cover in later post) I decided to use SonarPros rather than try to do it myself. Pricey but glad I used them. Upgrading the house & start batteries to LiFePo was on the list. 2 group 31 batteries would not fit in the normal compartment on the port side so they put 1 on each side. So not only are they lighter, there is one on each side. This almost eliminated the list to port and really helped to straighten the wheel while cruising. This is without filling livewell. It’s weird I can’t conclusively say it’s healed but it’s much much better. For reference troller is in the factory location on the port bow and its lead acid batteries are centered in the front of the head compartment.

So SonarPros deleted the factory DSVR and installed switches in more convenient location. They run them in parallel and swear by the Emergency Start button on battery. They are Powerhouse PH105 batteries. They have way way more capacity than the lead acid they replaced.
Cheers
Randy
