Minn Kota I pilot

[jamesbalog]

I still havent added a bow mount like i planned, the one i was trying to purchase was sold before i could get to it. I intend on putting one on this winter. my question for you guys is where did you put the batteries?

my boat is a center console that is already very stern heavy with a 200hp engine, a kicker, two batteries back there and 2-3 people back there fishing.

Ideally id like to keep them as far forward as possible. I have room in the bow to make a box but not sure if id want them up there with the severe pounding my boat takes on Erie. My other option is under the center console which i think may be the best bet.
