Default Battery/Bilge Guard

At some point in every boat it comes down to chasing lures, tools, baitfish or trashfish to the bilge.
In my case the batteries are also located there and I durn sure don't want something to short out cause it rolled back there.

A cover whould have been great except after measuring the mounting locations I would have to order some weird size batteries and I ain't much on custom parts.
So the next best thing and easily installed and removed!

My work across the board lacks a "finish" or "trim" capability but at least it's functional. :-/

Is that starboard or painted wood? Not that it matters - I just can't tell. Good idea Tsub.

That's leftover Starboard.
Always can find something to do with it. ;D
As a matter a fact the piece below the one I made is all I have left over from a full sheet.
