[Alberg30] Relocate batteries

[Dave Terrell]

I have been following and participating in this conversation on battery location. I'm happy to find out that, based on this discussion, my batteries are in a "good" place.

Nonetheless, as a newcomer in Albergland, I have a question. Are  the batteries that  are awash with water located in the compartments under the sole? And if that is so, what route does the water take to get there and under what circumstances does it get there. I am having a hard time visualizing this - not the water washing around - but it getting there. Thanks for the insight.

Chris,

The batteries are in the compartments under the sole. I have not had any
issues with leakage since they are in battery boxes.

On the mast head issue, I made a decision when installing the ProFurl last
year to have an entire new mast head made eliminating the number of blocks
hanging off the old unit and installing two sheaves no longer using the
sheave installed in the mast. The fabricator also questioned the amount of
material entering the mast on the old unit. The new mast head fixture slides
into the mast approximately 2.5 inches to ward off any stress issues.

My boat had the batteries located in the port cockpit locker. As I am 
finishing my rewiring I have moved them about 24" lower into the bilge I 
believe where they were originally. I think moving this 100#'s or so 
down there should help with her sail carrying ability? Has anyone had 
any trouble with the batteries in the bilge? I plan to get agm's this 
summer at some point so leakage should not be an issue.  Also he fuel 
tank is in the stbd locker was it on the centerline under the cockpit 
originally? I also would like a description of the masthead arraignment 
for jib and spinn halyards as mine are cobbed up there with chewing gum 
and wire ties (high tech bailing wire)
