A follow-up on GPO: yes, it is expensive! I found it on eBay, 1"x3" stock goes for about $2/inch!

Do I see battery straps in your future aboard the Tartan?

Not sure yet. If I think the GPO is the best solution, I will be able to get the GPO for about $72 (only need 55", but 72" is the closest size available, so far); so would do it that way.

Nick,
Where are your 6V GC batteries mounted now? Starboard side under the dinette or maybe under aft berth also to starboard? Have 31 series AGM's now in battery box in lazarette but wondering where to relocate new 6V GC bank to starboard to balance boat better and how to safely secure batteries, from a hold down, vapor, and leakage perspective.
Thanks,
Jeff
