I would seriously caution replacing that solid piece plywood deck section at the bow with a lid. My bow takes a lot of punishment hitting hard waves. It might be that solid plywood helps keep the bow from twisting, or even collapsing.
I treat the bow batteries as equal to the cranking battery where the StaynCharge cable ends and the All Charge takes up. The bow is where the cable exits the boat to the pickup harness. I haven't had a bit of problem tagging on the bow batteries which are in parallel. The mower battery is for the bow electronics, also hooked to the StaynCharge cable, providing the cleanest power possible. When underway in the boat I have 6 batteries in the recharge mode, two getting their alternating 5 minute zaps.
