"Knowledge is knowing where to find it."

That's why I'm here. I'm wondering about a dual battery box for 27 series batteries. I'm searching the innerweb right now, but I'm sure someone here has an idea of a box to store two batteries.
 
In the boat I just bought, I have a center console. The helm seat is on a box which
holds the 2 batteries I’m using for my trolling motor.
 
Maybe two regular battery boxes bolted together with a spacer??? You might consider using nylon bolts and nuts. I used to buy 1/4 20 bolts of various lengths at a hobby store.

Rich, that's how I'm leaning right now. I have one, I'll buy another. My batteries are tight under the casting deck and exposed (i.e. no boxes, just a ratchet strap). I'm thinking take the hand grinder to the front of the bench seat and place them there. I'm still pondering.....

I've removed the starboard 1/3 of the center bench seat for an "old man's" walkway. This is a frontal rendering.

If you don't need boxes with covers, these work great.

I was scrolling through the TAP Plastics website for something else and saw an item about them making a battery box out of 1/4" PVC sheet. The one they made held 6 batteries. Anyway, it reminded me of your question about a double batt box. Looks like making one out of PVC sheet might be an option.
