Hi Rob, can't help you as I have an outboard. However, I moved my battery from the cockpit locker to under the cockpit where the rudder pipe goes through. You would have your motor where I have my battery. I have made a frame for the battery to sit on and it can take two batteries if I want to add another one.

I have the starter and one house battery under the cockpit aft of the engine and the over house B is on the starboard side while my fuel tank is on the port side.
All balanced
