[QUOTE="airshot, post: 495573, member: 1183"] Some great ideas here, another is to use plywood over the aluminum on your floor to support the battery. When I had my small tinnie, I took aluminum straps attached to the front seat, that hung down to support a plywood shelf where the TM battery was stored. Sort of suspended inside a battery box as there was no floor under that little seat. If you boat in rough water, you might consider a foam pad under your battery box to act as a cushion. I had a piece of black closed cell foam a little over 1" thick under mine to cushion the rough ride as batteries don't like harsh vibration/ pounding. I have a MK with anchor lock and love it !! Will never use an anchor again unless I have to. My 16' SC will stay in position in 20 mph winds and two ft chop. Try to use screws...nuts and bolts..etc rather than rivets where you can, never know when you will need to remove it for whatever reason!!! [/QUOTE]
