They are sitting in 2 trays with no room on either side. I’ll snap a pic tomorrow when I’m at the boat.

Dang hard to believe after looking at the 3 in mine 4 would fit but I guess so! I would have to replace the single battery tray and replace it with a double like that is on the other bank and likely move the other 2 battery bank over to fit. I wonder why SF went to 3 batteries.

yes they are in 2 trays that are mounted side by side. The same trays the 24's were in.There was a little wiggle room with the 24's and i had to make sure they were strapped in. I contemplated taking the trays out which would have freed up a little room but surprisingly they fit.It wasn't easy getting them in. While shopping for batteries I did notice that some group 27 batteries actually had slightly different dimensions so I got the smaller ones.I think that's what saved me as I was going to get interstate batteries as someone on here suggested but the deka battery is 1/4 inch in length smaller. Sorry no pics

Sorry no pics Good info. My 3 Group 27's are Deka Master Marine. Ideally I would like to have two group 27's for the house. I am also considering instead of two group 27's going with a single Odyssey Group 31 AGM.

Why do you all have 4 batteries? Is it an issue have needing higher cranking amps?

I have four on my 2660. One for starting port engine, one for starting starboard engine, and two for house.
