[QUOTE="russ010, post: 103152, member: 677"] I'll try to answer your questions in order.... 1 - I used 3" self tapping lag bolts for all of this: mounting the wood to the bench, mounting the seat base to the wood. That bad boys is still being used just like that today. Just be sure to use atleast 2-3/4" or 3" so that most of the screw is underneath the bench in the foam. 2 - You can use shorter self tapping screws if your talking about aluminum angle, but I think most guys are using rivets to attach their supports to the benches As far as what you are wanting to do... 2 D-rings and a bungee cord will solve that problem. If you have wood floors in the rear, you can put a D-ring on each side of the battery, and one side have out to one end so that you can put your life vests underneath the bungee cord when you go to attach across the top of the batteries to the next D-Ring. I'll try to take some pics tonight when I'm out getting my boat ready for tomorrows tournaments [/QUOTE]
