I Have The Power!!!

I started to post this last night and I had one more picture to upload, then the Moomba site crashed.
It was probably for the best as I was P.W.I. Posting While Intoxicated. Don't judge! I know I'm not the only one!
I started getting many of the parts installed over the last week or two.

First the pics of the alternator and the external regulator. All the wiring is in and cleaned up. Had to up the wire size from 10 to 4 gauge, and I may end up going to the 1/o depending on temp.
The alt was so big that I had to modify the cooling hoses to keep the pully fan from hitting. It was pretty technical... ok it was a big azz reusable/adjustable zip-tie. Don't hate, its temporary... maybe.. I don't know it looks pretty custom.
Enjoy!

Next I had to relocate the heater so I could utilize the space under the bow for the new batteries. That wasn't fun... When I was finally able to get the hoses off, the core ended up draing all over inder the dash and the water from the engine sifoned up there as well until I was able to break the vacuum at the motor disconnecting the exhaust manifold drains. Note to self drain block before playing with the heater.
Got it done and now I have tons of room for batteries. Turned out better than I expected. This will aid in balancing the boat better and make more room in the storage area.

Lastly some preliminary placement to see what fits where and how to best utilize the front storage area.
Mounting the new shurepower and the new Punch 1000-1db
That space is huge if you can optimize it!
When I get the wire in I'll post up more pics.

P.W.I. I like it, good to know i'm not alone, i also B.W.I. but thats only because the winds have died and the water is glass/butter. BTW your lucky to have the boat so close at this time of year and awesome job. I like the orange cooler fan.

Newty, how did you run the battery cables to access the battery on the drivers side?
