i would do it in fiberglass but I got a buddy coming to town on saturday and the main reason he is coming it to go fishing. so it has to be ready to go saturday morning or he wil......

me.
so here is the pic of what it looked like when i took the battery out. you can see the drain from the deck on the right. water runs out there and works it way around the battery and down the side of the platform to a hole that leads to the bilge. (last pic)
and here it is after i cut out the fiberglass
here is the other side all torn out
and here is what came out of it.
filled the battery box full of what used to be plywood
and here is the hole under the motor where the water is supposed to drain out from under the battery box. the wall on the right is the battery box. the bottom of the bilge is too the left.
