There is also the shoehorn effect...
In Response To: Battery and boat size question ()
The battery space is shoehorned in after all other design decisions are made. No room for an 8D - just give the customer a Group 24. Once the customer pays for the boat why should the builder care about battery capacity.

- The builder knows nothing about my battery system
- When I first found my boat I was shocked to find that it had only 2 group 27
- $d and 8D batteries are fine if you are not the one who has to move them..
