A few newbie questions

[In2Deep]

Just became the proud owner of my first parker,1999 2100 DV CC! She has cleaned up beautiful after 2 days of work.
So I have a few questions;
1. Has anyone put their batteries up in the console for better weight distribution?
2. I replaced the original 2 batteries with 2 new ones,but forgot which battery went where? Where was the starting battery and house(deep cycle)?

These things have happend because I was overly excited and in a rush for the maiden voyage! Thanks for your help.
cheers,Jerry

You should have a battery selector switch so it should not matter where you put them unless weight is a concern.

1.) Yes, many members have done this and some have documented it in the 'Projects' area.

2.) It all depends on how you have it wired, but on a 21 DVCC, I would not think that your power requirements would call for dedicated starting and house batteries.
As Bryan said, determine how you want to use it and use the battery selector switch to make the choice for you.

FWIW - I have a 2520 and routinely put my battery selector on 'Both'.
Never an issue in 7 years. 8)
