[QUOTE="Tracker1436, post: 243769, member: 6896"] I would mount the batteries under the front deck, in front of the forward bench. You are going to have too much weight in the stern with the motor, gas tank, batteries, and you. While on the subject of batteries, do you really need 2? Thats quite a lot of weight to be hauling around, if not necessary. On my 1436 Tracker, I mounted the battery just forward of the first cross rib near the bow. My trolling motor is on the centerline at the bow, above the battery. This arrangement distributes the weight evenly on my boat. My goal was to keep the weight on the centerline of the boat, which helps with stability. These Trackers are pretty narrow by Jon Boat standards, and every little bit helps. [/QUOTE]
