  Bill,
  
  You should consider doing what several of the Legacy RG builders have done;
  put them behind the seats.  That's where mine is, along with the hydraulic
  pump.  It's fairly easy to make access panels in the seat backs and build a
  bulkhead behind the batteries to keep them isolated from the baggage
  compartment.  I know of one flying Legacy with dual batteries and the
  hydraulic pump behind the seats, an IO-550 with a 3-bladed prop and dual
  alternators.  The weight and balance came out very nice.
