In an old (1974) V20 Steplift, the bilge is also the best place for two batteries, with room for a bilge pump between them. The batteries are strapped down with belts. The security cable will loop over both batteries through eyes installed in the deck beside the battery/bilge well. The cable will prevent someone just twisting the eyes out, of course.

The cable is coated with plastic and I will coat the ends in heavy grease periodically, since this is NOT stainless steel. But the cost is also not prohibitive.
