16ft. starcraft ss trolling motor battery positioning
have a ss model (1985) with a bow mount min-kota edge,( I) battery, mounted in the very front under the seats. would like to upgrade to a 24 volt I pilot , 2- 12volt battery 24 volt motor . not sure of where to place batteries close enough in the front of the boat, one on each side and hook up the wiring and still be ok with the voltage drop. can anyone suggest a spot to place them? would like to go as far back under the seats to keep the weight balanced and still be workable?
