the outboard had a obvious place to bungee down its battery in the stern
however no clue how i'm going to secure 2 trolling motor batteries up front - preferrably under the bow ?.........bought fancy plug and receptacle ,marine wire for the batteries, cb and about ready to get ipilot happening !!........saved all winter and pretty excited
just puzzled on battery placement ......the floor starts a good tilt right at base of bow and that slant continues....i assume i'm going to have to build some kind of securement for the 2 battery boxes that includes a way to level them up and keep them from bouncing around ??????
some kind of 1x4 wood rail around them with a 1x 4 underneath to screw the boxes down ?? maybe 2x4 on 1 side to eliminate the SLANT ???????piece of foam or rubber under it ??
am i missing some obvious EASY SOLUTION ? DO YALL HAVE ANY PICS ? of your setups ?
in my mind i'm going to install that plug on the bow deck and route wires under that 'below bow deck storage area........ i don't have onboard charger yet ..........studying them now i don't care about losing access to that storage area........don't have nothing under there yet so .....not a worry
i know i need a 2 bank charger.......but that seems to be least of question......just need to throw more $$ at that,,,,,hahaha....... ( tho opinions and advice welcome there too )
how to level and secure these 2 big batteries............thats what i'm asking ??????
