And the charger which is a single and goes to the starting battery only, and the V Berth overview.
The plumbing in to the right of the batteries are my freshwater intake and my PO modified ballast tank valve. If you have any questions, feel free to ask; I will add that except for initial charger installation and battery replacements, my PO did the original installation over 13 years ago, and the tech at my marina did the upgrades to the wiring. Good luck.

I think your asking about mounting the batteries, I have two agm batteries mounted in under the forward starboard seat , they are sitting on a plank of marine ply which has been fibreglassed into place.

Re: Where and How to mount dual Batteries on a 26x
Our 26x came with one under the forward starboard seat which is now where the house battery lives. I put another one (starter) in the pedestal. I have a solar charger for the house battery and the outboard charges the starter battery. Have a light weight wire that use to connect them once they are both charged so the solar panels keeps them both topped up.
