My Racors are straight aft, from the doors to the lazarette in each of the h ulls, not in the center. My batteries are also on the bridge deck, but tucked back from the center of the area under the seat (live well in some boats--dive compressor, or generator in others).
The stb side is very easily accessable, because I store little there. The port side, I have hooks to hold dock lines, and I have to remove the dock lines before looking at and draining the Racors.
