257 trolling motor battery placement.

[Elins9iron]

Im looking to add a trolling motor to my 257 Advance. Does anyone have pictures of how and where they placed batteries? Trying to decide between a 36v 100ah, 2 36v 50ah, or 3 12v 100ah batteries. All cost about the same, I would prefer having the 3 12v's, but im not sure I have the space without giving up storage.

I imagine a 257 fisherman would be the same.

Thanks,

Does anyone have pictures of the factory 257 Fisherman trolling motor battery location?

Make a quick box out of cardboard to simulate the size of the battery or batteries you're thinking about. Easy peasy lemon squeezy to just go play around and see what you like. It really doesn't matter where anyone else, or the factory, put it -- put it where YOU want to.
