On Pegasus I have the hot water heater under the port q-berth but soon to be mover further aft, I will add a bulkhead to keep the heat away from the battery and I will put a house battery there. either a pair of 6 volts or a 4d. had one next to the heater and cooked it. I also have a pair of 6vots on the shelf just aft of the companion way steps. The starting batteries are on the port shelf by the engine ( a pair of group 24's). I built a temporary shelf under the stbd q-berth for a second house battery (4d). Plans are in the works to convert the stbd q-berth into a nav station. battery and holding tank will get moved again. One other thing I am doing is having a friend build drawers that go full length in the cabinets, like the ones in the galley do. Should almost double my drawer storage. I have my windlass powered off of the engine batteries.
