Battery choices:
2 4D AGM's, though some have gone with 4 golf cart 6VDC batteries which have to be wired in series/parallel. Very close to the same capacity (420 amp-hrs for two 4D's and 440 amp-hrs for 4 4CT 6 VDC's). The 4CT's are a little taller at 9.92" (vs 8.64) so make sure you have the height if considering the 6 VDC's.
If not comfortable with wiring, replace with the 4D's and wire exactly as they are now (label the wires and take a picture before removing the old ones).
Yes, because they are in the main saloon, I would absolutely go with AGM's, as they out-gas only under severe over-charging.
Lifeline 4D AGM's are a very good choice.https://lifelinebatteries.com/products/ ... s/gpl-4dl/
As far as vibration, how loose were the engine mount bolts discussed above??? Engines moving around DO vibrate!
As far as stove parts, just do an on-line search for the brand of your stove or call Catalina: 727 544-6681
