Here some follow up on this project.
I ended up placing the start batteries (2X AGM gr 31) and main switches under the aft settee of the dinette. I built a tray behind the drawer and off the floor as high as I could so I’m not really loosing any storage there and it's very easy access.



The house bank (2X Lifepo4 LiTime 100 AH) and Dc to Dc charger are located under the forward settee of the dinette behind the fridge.



The house bank switch is just outside of it for easier/quicker access.

I have one breaker for the windlass and line hauler, the other breaker is for everything else.

I still have to do a bit of tidying up with the wires and finding better cover for the start batteries post, but I was able to test most everything and it’s all working. It’s still winter here so I have not started and run the engines, I’m curious to see how well it is charging with that setup, and have not try to pull my anchor up from a deep anchorage yet. But hopefully that will happen soon.
I have a few more pictures in my album if anyone interested.
