Hi Everyone: . I have two size 24 batteries on my Catalina 27. Has any of you ever added a third battery and where did you put it? Secondly, does anyone ever carry a spare "starter" battery just in case both batteries get too low? Thanks Melody

You might also try....

replacing the Group 24's with Group 27's or 30's. I have two 27's at 105 amp/hours each and they fit easily into the existing space while providing a little extra power. I also bought one of those mobile starter battery packs from West Marine. You plug it in to re-charge and it comes with jumper cables for emergency engine starts. I've also used it when my neighbors can't get their boats started. It seems to be good for about one start before it needs re-charging but it stores easily. Good luck and good sailing, Jeff s/v Suzanne
