In my legacy I put both B&C battery's on the firewall and the pump behind the rear bulkhead. The reservoir leaked and I had to remove the pump for replacement and it was a fairly easy job. There always seems to be a fluid smell when I open the bulkhead cover and I am glad the pump is back there. The battery placement has enabled my to have a forward CG which was my goal all along.Now I don't have an aft cg problem even when heavily loaded in the baggage compartment.

Dean,
I have my pump in the behind the aft baggage bulkhead along with an Odysee 680 battery. I have another Odysee 680 battery on my firewall and along with a Chelton EFIS system, have a near perfect CG. Originally, I had both batteries mounted on the firewall and due to an extreme forward CG had to re-locate one battery in the back. I am convinced this is the perfect set-up for most Legacies.
Some have the pump behind the seat along with a much larger battery, but I think all-in-all, the dual battery set-up and location I have works best. (with dual 680s)
The only caviat would be if you're planning on a heavy EFIS system like the Garmin 900X, you would need to put both batteries and pump in the rear area to balance the CG well.
Hope this helps,
Don Barnes
