[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 393501, member: 13702"] Bolts are definitely the way to go if you're going to hang one piece of aluminum under another by only the fastener - I wouldn't even trust my stainless rivets to that type of load bearing. If you've got a battery box you're fine, turning it 90 degrees might cause you to have to pick it up over the rib and bring it that much closer to the aluminum...makes no difference if they both contact the same rib or different ribs as it'll all be tied together through the boat hull. Your best bet is the battery box. I ordered plastic hatch covers for over my battery rather than the aluminum ones I'd originally intended after I started thinking about those terminals especially when trailering the boat on the shitty roads we have in CT.
