Its time to upgrade my 4D batteries on my 2016 Catalina 385. I had really wanted to convert the 2 4Ds to 4 6V Golf Cart Batteries but the pre-fabricated battery boxes the 4D batteries sit in appear to be about 1 inch too short to accomodate Golf Cart battery dimensions. While the standard 4D batteries are exactly 2X the length of Golf Cart batteries (20.5" vs. 10.25"), the standard 4D is actually about 19.25" at the base (the extruding handles and top add about 1"-1.25"). Golf Cart batteries seem to be exactly the same length at the top and the base.
Has anyone successfully fit Golf Cart Batteries into the Catalina 385 battery storage area? If so, what brand and what did you have to do to have the existing battery base accomodate them?
TIA
