In regards to most later model fiberglass bass boats....Seems as if all the batteries are mounted in the rear.<br /> Seems to me this is probably the best place to mount them in regards to longevity since the stern will ride much smoother than the bow.<br /> However, I've added a considerable amount of weight back there and think I need to move some weight forward to offset this change. <br /> Two batteries moved to the front should even things out "just right". <br /> So, the question is. <br />WHY should I not move the trolling motor batteries up front? Shorter wiring to the trolling motor, and, they don't charge off of the alternator.<br /> Is there a reason that I should not do this other than they make take more of a beating up front?
