[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 495580, member: 7021"] I never had a TM battery up at bow. I just placed the battery box there to see how it would fit. First step is to modify front deck to keep it from rubbing. My thoughts are to grind away some of the alum edge of the floor that is rubbing. It is a bout a 15" section that needs to be grinded.... remove approx. 1/4"...enough space to clear hull sides and fit trim molding. Then, add 1.5" or 2" angle alum to act as braces to underside of floor to add stiffness since floor/ will no longer be resting on sides of hull. I am now considering placing battery box on front deck inside an ice chest that fits a battery box. The added angle alum to underside of floor should stiffen floor enough to accomodate this...plus floor is designed for passengers to stand and casting, even though it is at floor level. Ice chest footprint would spread load. I can add a TM plug to side of ice chest and wiring from battery to plug would be a very short distance. Ice chest would be strapped to bow seat. Thoughts?
