    Battery venting?

    I ended up getting some 2" round vents with louvers and screens on them. I will put one one each upper corner. Should allow enough ventilation for batteries. At least while charging

    New seats showed up today and carpet was shipped today. Ordered both through bassboatseats and seemed to be a decent price. Not really ready for the seats but i need the carpet so that i can put a piece down on the floor before getting the console secured in place. But it is pretty cool to...

    Battery venting?

    Ok. So basically as long as there is any type of vent? Because it will also be used as a step, it will be lower than the deck so would not be catching any fresh air while on the water, and obviously nothing happening while parked and charging.

    Would anyone be so kind as to share how to post pics? I obviously have no idea what I am doing. Tried the images button that then wants a URL. Do pics need to be online somewhere first?
