[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 487431, member: 12995"] I moved the battery from the transom area up under my forward console to help balance out the weight better. It works fine, just get some decent cables that are big enough. If you boat in an area that has a lot of chop or wakes, you might want to put some sort of padding under the battery to help absorb some of the bouncing. I moved the battery in my old sprint boat from the rear to the bow to help with weight distribution and ran some 0 gauge cables (it was cranking over a 350 Chevy) and it worked fine as well. Here's a picture of both boats at the dock and this was before I moved the battery in the sprint boat. It was in the rear on the driver's side, I later moved it up to the bow on the passenger side to help balance the boat when I was in it alone. [/QUOTE]
