Hi all you 38s5 owners. Mine is in Trinidad and I am in Vancouver, Canada. I am wanting to purchase and take with me 2 Trojan 6v AGM batteries that are 10 3/4" high and 7 1/2" wide and 10 1/4 long and parallel them as my house 400 amp.
I have a Yanmar 3GM30 to be installed and am concerned with clearance for these batteries. One of the benefits of these batteries is that they can be installed at any angle so the critical measurement is the width of the box and the total width of the space. Then the height at any angle to have clearance with the companionway step cover and the engine front.
If anyone has access to these measurements it would be appreciated. Also any comments on the use of these batteries and a recommended charge regulator to go with the Yanmar 55amp alternator. i will also use a Trojan 27 12 volt AGM as starter/reserve which will be installed under the berth on the port side along with a Xantrex charger/inver
