Terry,
(This thread has died but I forgot to mail this)
Believe it or not, I found room for two golf cart batteries and the engine
battery on the starboard side.
It's a tight fit and you will need a mirror and light to check the golf cart
electrolyte.
I made a new tray out of 1/4" aluminum which is bolted onto the old battery
tray brackets which are attached to the frame.
I bent some lips around the perimeter to keep the batteries from sliding.
The two golf cart batteries are next to the wheel well liner with start
battery in front.
