Default Big Design Flaw!!!

Why would you need bigger batteries when you have 110volts of AC running
dockside????
Maybe put a forklift battery on the swim platform to power all the
electronics. You should have ample reserve for your 2 hour
cruises...especially with the aux charging the battery!

I finally found the fatal and serious flaw in the Beneteau 35s5.
Obviously it's not the way she sails, or her construction or even her
high quality build and interior.
I pulled the batteries Saturday, which are both group 24's and realized
that there isn't room for group 27's in the battery bay, two of which
are sitting in my garage. I'll probably look into setting up a 3rd
battery, but I think Beneteau could have considered folks who might
want those extra amps.

Ah well.
