[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 363184, member: 9169"] You can cut the access holes in your bench with an angle grinder and cutoff wheel. You can then use some angle to make a frame that will fit a battery tray, using your hull ribs as support. This is basically how I did mine. I then contacted bassboy1 at FishOnFabrications for him to make me custom aluminum hatches. I have one in my rear bench with drop in liner for dry storage and 3 on my bow deck for access to my batteries and more storage. Here is how I framed out my battery storage. The batteries sit in a battery tray that is screwed into the aluminum angle support. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=26774&start=180 Here is the hatches I got from bassboy1 https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=26774&start=225 And here is a link to FishOnFabrications, if your interested. You can also pm bassboy1 on here for information on hatches. I plan to eventually get another hatch with liner for my rear bench. And I wouldn't have anyone but him make it for me. https://www.fishonfabrications.com/ [/QUOTE]
