Title: Dual Battery Installs... Inspire me!
Post by: steve4xfun on March 04, 2008, 11:54:00 AM
Hey kids,
       Getting ready to install second battery and disconnect switch.  The threads were helpful, but who has those pics of their own sano installs??  Looking to see routing ideas, battery box layouts, switch locations, etc.  It never ceases to amaze me how clever and creative you guys are, so let's see 'em...

Hotrod, what part of the Cajon zone are you from?  Ever make it to El Cap on the weekends, or pretty much just the river?  Wanabe, yeah.. I looked at that thread.  I have a grasp on the electrical side of it, and I suppose I know about where I wanna route it, just wanted to see if I could get any ideas.  Thanks for the replies

...also Hotrod, where do you get most of your parts from.  My buddy uses JP Marine, but I haven't really gotten deep into the boat yet.  I will be doing all my own work, just wonderin' who your parts hook up is

I'm over by Mollison and Greenfield. I rarely make it anywhere (seriously), but when I do I go to El Cap and Martinez. I'm hoping to make Parker in June.

I heard that Super Shops had a couple shops open.  Is it the same people that ran it before or new people with the old name?

Damn, Marc... Just got caught up in some VRT/Supershops thread on another sight... sounds like it is gettin' nasty at some of the other web sites.  Is the supershops like the ones when we were younger?  Don't know the history between VRT and Supershops but it reads like a freakin' soap opera!  I'll have to stop buy and see what you guys have.

Supershops in Salinas was where my friends and I would buy our car's parts a couple of decades ago. Supershops had a cool logo.

Bob,  Thanks!  Just wondering why your neg cable was disconnected if your positives are switched.  Was this for something specific, or do you do that each time for storage?  I don't really see a nice place to put my switch outside the engine compartment (don't wanna run long cables from the helm console) because I don't think I have quite the clearance under my seats as you do.  Great install.   

Marc, here's the link to that one thing we won't mention on this, a dual battery install page ... (thanks, Wanabe.  ha ha)
