    1 Engine 1 Battery setup.

    Battery, circuit breaker and fuse box will be in close proximity to each other with the battery also in its own secured dowb box - everything will then be inside a larger aluminum box that is already on the boat.

    Using flotation foam as deck support...yes or no?

    Using flotation foam as deck support...yes or no?
