Hello everyone i have a 2014 bass cat puma ftd and it has oil reservoir in the middle in the back and i was thinking about running 5 batterys one battery for my electronics but where can i put it?

Also thinking about going to lithium can i fit a 36 volt lithium battery in on the one side for the trolling motor then i would like to run 2 12 volts one for cranking and the other for all electronics livewell etc. Will this work?

I just did the exact same thing. I have a 2011 Puma and went Lithium for my trolling motor. But how to get 3 batteries in the place of 2 right? Lithium batteries are SOLID (no Liquid) and can work at any angle. I removed the factory battery tray and made one out of a couple of pieces of aluminum angle. I made the tray the width of the Lithium batteries LAID ON THEIR SIDE. I lashed down two of the batteries to each other in a stacked configuration and then strapped them to the tray. The third lithium is also on its side and I still have plenty of room to stack a 4th one on top of that one if needed. Stayed with a normal battery for starting as recommended. The “new” battery tray still allowed the oil tank to remain in it’s normal position. Hope this helps.
