Hey all,
As I prepare to mount a new windlass on my ‘85 C&C 37, I intend to install a new AGM 12v on the centerline just aft of the holding tank. There is plenty of room here for a battery platform and accessibility is fair. I’ve done my homework on voltage drop, cable size, etc. but if you have specific experience on a 37 with a fwd-mounted battery, I’m mostly ears.
My question relates to ventilation. The under-berth space is fairly large, but I know AGMs need to gas and I don’t want to create a hazard. Any suggestions for adding an adequate vent to this area?
