[alberg30] Re: batteries

[Gordon E. White]

Pete,
    My boat is # 275 and the batteries are under the cabin sole just
forward of the engine compartment bulkhead where the steps are. They are
on a shelf maybe 10-12" below the sole. At first when I got the boat I
thought the bottom of the compartment was the bottom of the bilge and
the top of the keel, but I later found a small hole (into which, as
always, some piece of hardware I was working with, fell) and found there
was space below the battery compartment. In my boat it is open at its
aft end under the engine and forms the "lower bilge." With great
contortions I can reach into it to retrieve lost articles. Very great
contortions. I think there has to be a space there though whether it is
accessible (!) on various boats is probably different.
    Forward of that compartment is another one where I also have a
battery but which does not seem to have a lower section, in fact I think
the bottom of that one is the top of the keel. Even further forward is a
very shallow compartment which obviously is right on top of the keel.
