[QUOTE="schukster, post: 434993, member: 15657"] Thanks. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20170517_181957.jpg"]92308._xfImport[/ATTACH] The face of the bow shelf comes off after removing a couple of screws. I have a Battery Tender cord attached to the battery posts so I find that I don't need to get into the battery compartment very often. I was always going to find some thumb screws in case I ever needed to get into the compartment while I was on the lake. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20170517_182142.jpg"]92309._xfImport[/ATTACH] The area under the bow shelf is just a continuation of the casting platform. I don't have a battery box. I just have some cleats that hold the battery in place. I am a fair weather fisherman on a relatively small inland lake so I haven't experience big waves.
