Anyone have some ideas? I've decided to move my trolling motor battery to the front of my 12ft Semi-V to help with some weight distribution problems. Issue is that the battery is a group 29, and i cannot install a proper battery box with it in the space allowed. I just want a terminal cover that will keep hot wires away from direct contact with my fishing buddy, and it seems I cannot find typical covers that will work with how I need to wire the terminals and breaker. My big thing is low profile as height is also a concern. I was thinking about maybe PVC pipe?
Otherwise I have two options:
Craigslist my 4 month old battery, and buy a smaller one (and lose money).
Homemade battery box that will fit my space requirements (which would cut it closer than I would like).
I have no intention of buying another 29 after this one dies, I just want to make this work for the next couple years until it does, then I'll downgrade in size since now that I have an outboard my trolling motor isn't my only means of propulsion. I'd just prefer to not lose money on selling a used battery.
This is my exact battery:
