I have a 2025 R25LE with the LiPO battery set up. In order to use a bow mounted 36v trolling motor I was looking to put the battery with the existing batteries in the stern of the boat. But getting the wires to the bow was darn near impossible. Then I took the bedroom cushions up and realized the center section was perfect to put a LiPO 36 volt 60 amp hour dakota LiPO battery. The attached photos show the final installation, with the CB mounted outside the storage area along with the plug for the 36v charger. Ran the wires up the front of the cabin and into the anchor locker and hid the wires with self stick wire guides. Works like a champ! Next post will be how I am mounting the trolling motor to the bow next to the anchor windlass.
