battery placement

[bgreene]

The most important issue seems to be how to secure the battery rather than moving the weight.

I'd suggest securing to withstand constant pounding in 3' seas.........meaning more securely set and braced than needed. " Overbuilt" as the saying goes..

typo should have been 2 not 3.

So looking at putting a standard 18-26 in bracket on.

Seadrive model is a great candidate for a bracket. Go to the gallery to page three look at Vicsv20. Same deck layout as twisted has. Also macojoes is on there also. His was an I/O hull.

Main drawback to moving batteries is size of cable required to get starting volts/amps back to engine
