To begin with, I wouldn't ever install anything that's not stainless...sooner or later, you're gonna be sorry you did...sooner in Salt, later in fresh...
I spent time in security advising and selling to large chain stores & restaurants...and here's what's gonna happen...pecker head will come by one night, scope it out and see what he's up against, then come back a few nights later, equipped to overcome what ever you put in there...you already mentioned the best security when you said VISIBLE...outta sight, outta mind goes a long way in the security business...figure out a way to hide 'em...
Also, TIME is not on a theif's side...he wants hit and run...if you want to install some hardware to slow him down, that ain't a bad thing, but make it stainless...
And you said battery well on a '74...cuddy or Center Console?...I had a Cuddy and the only well mine had was the bilge, where I saw several batteries installed in other's '74s
