<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>About a month ago we discussed placement of
additional batteries in the A30. I plan to have one starter battery, and two
deep cells.I want to place the deep cell batteries in the second well space
forward of the engine compartment (thats the big sloped well in the newer A30).
I will make a flat spot and the mount the batteries there, then run the cables
aft.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My previous setup, had all the batteries in the
space just forward of the engine. Three batteries won't fit there
now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Question: Can I drill a hole through the fiberglass
liner/pan partition that divides these two wells, in order to run battery cables
aft to the engine and electrical panel? Does anyone know, is that partition just
fiberglass, or is there any sort of metal grid reinforcement maybe in the liner
pan?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Holes will have to be kind of big ( maybe 1") to
allow #4 cable or bigger.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance;</FONT></DIV>
