Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tin Man" data-source="post: 495744" data-attributes="member: 7021">Yes, I meant to say cut a hole on top of small bench and drop tray/battery box/battery down into hole.  The battery would not sit completely under the bench as hull is not very deep at that point, especially the hull rising as it moves towards the bow .  But maybe 80-90% of battery would drop down. Battery weight would be nearly as low as mounting to front deck but not as low as what RBW set up.  Replacing battery would need to be address through top of TM deck.  Connections to TM and a charger would be simple and clean as top of battery is easily accessible.  Once I finish the bow deck project, I will focus on TM deck and battery placement.  BTW.....went looking to purchase some Weldwood Original Contact Cement, in quart size, to glue some rubber to metal.  NOT readily available at local stores (HD, Lowes, Tru Value, other hardware stores) in anything more than a 3oz bottle in CA!  $10 for a 3oz bottle!  Grainger will not ship to CA.  Amazon 32oz for $25.  Finally found some at Blick Art Materials...$18 for 32oz.  Geez, what a hassle for something so simple!  Same as no more quality paint thinner, laquer thinner, oil based paints, etc.  Rant off!</blockquote>
