[QUOTE="duckfish, post: 380621, member: 17136"] 2 ideas you can think about.... when I did this to my previous boat I ended up buying AGM batteries since they can be mounted on their side. That solved my height clearance problem and based on the longevity of them and superior charge holding abilities, I will never again buy anything but AGM's for trolling motor batteries. I made mounting plates out of thin but rigid plastic cutting boards, cut (1) side off of a standard battery tray to allow the on-the-side placement and then fastened this to adjacent ribs with small SS angle fasteners. I will try to take a picture of one of them later to better show what I did. [/QUOTE]
