i have been looking high and low for a smaller group 29 battery box. i, however cannot for the life of me find one to fit in the transom area of my new tracker 1436. the transom brace just gets in the way. specs are 13" x ~15 1/2"
the group 29 battery is 13" by itself and fits fine without a box. but i would like to use the box and not leave it open to the elements although the boat is garage kept. the pic you see is the 13" the other measurement would be the 15 1/2 (roughly)
it i hacked the handles off the box the "vents" would still get in the way.
i have a breaker in the box and the fuse for the livewell. thats why i would like to try to keep it all self contained.
no one lists a "just for" group 29 battery. if this has been covered, i apologize. i havent been able to find the solution.
i had though of just putting the battery back there open, or getting a group 24, that box will fit. eventually there will be a gas tank there so dual batteries is out. i dont want to drill holes with nutserts if i am going to change it as well. is a battery box a requirement? (i would assume so)
any ideas??
thanks in advance!
