Seat Boxes & Batteries...

[Airslot]

DISCLAIMER: *I'm working way too much because of a "short staffing" situation. *If I've lost my mind, thats OK ;D

Water's too hot and wind blows too hard the little time I have off, so it's time to do a few projects and look forward to fall fishing.

I'm think of building the elusive seat box, for the starboard side, and housing my batteries and battery switches in it. *My plan is for 1 house battery and 1 starting battery and the ability to parrallell them in a starting emergency. *Charging would be handled by a VSR and I'll also be installing an onboard charger at the same time. *

I need (want) to add the second batt, switches, and charger. *I'm thinking to get some weight forward because while things are running great, at some point I'm going to put a few more pounds on the transom.

As far as the battery location, my other option was the in floor well between the helmn chairs?

How about a little wisdom, or even some opinions *;D from the board.

I'm stuck at work for a lonnnng time, so lets hear it. ::)

Edit to add: *This is the swich arrangement I'm thinking of. *It may be concealed inside the box, or I may mount in with the switches through the box, not sure yet.



Thanks
