Mine was like the above. Closest one I have with the battery. Never thought I would need a pic of that. Other battery mounted same location on opposite side.

I know that you have yours together for a while with your set up. So far I only have about 20 hours on this new set up. Do you have any set up suggestions from your experience with yours that you would like to share?
To answer the question about fitting under the hatch, no it does not. It is close but close only counts in Horse Shoes..lol I plan on installing an intercooler in the future so this is the route I took.
By the way, the boat is for sale if you know of anyone looking for a real nice Fountain.

About all I got is that Mine runs better w the engine cover open a little,( Strapped down w tiedowns of course). Other than that.. The bottom being strait and dialed would be the best thinng i could do to mine. I got a depthfinder that the previous owner mounted out the bottm that probably doesn't help either.
You got the speedmaster lower unit, so I would say that would be the most impotant thing to focus on on your boat.. The perfect hiedth will do a lot. That and make sure she (the motor)gets plenty of fresh air,

P.s. Nice long garage..

The factory used a Rex Marine battery holder. There should be a indent on the stringer were it mounts. I belive the battery size was 27. Single battery was on the port side. 2nd was in the same location on the opposite side.
