There are two batteries mounted together in the stern, forward of the Twin Yamahas I have the two OEM batteries but need a third battery installed close by. Very tight

Your probably the best person to identify the slot. I'd keep it with the others to keep wiring changes simple, allow you to revert if you every had to and leverage current access if possible.

Thank you. Doesent seem to have the space close by but I am thinking to turn the batteries 90 Degrees and three might fit on the platform I 'll measure and give it a try. Not much space in the bilges. I also have to learn if the Lewmar Pro 700 can be mounted on the rearmost edge of the bow platform and still feed into the bow space without fouling

I use a Lewmar 700 on my bow pulpit. Many people do. I imagine your pulpit is pretty similar. Need to cut a big hole and it works great.

I was concerned if line would foul on anchor retrieval being far forward but it looks like it will be okay. I was concerned about enough drop gravity and the chance of entanglement
