[QUOTE="bAcKpAiN, post: 11883, member: 169"] I am going to have the batery under the bow deck, or the one behind it if it won't fit and all wiring running to the back to a switch/fuse box. I want to have the batter as far forward as possible. The trolling motor is a transom mount though and will stay on the transom because it is only a 30" shaft and wouldn't convert to the bow. If I had a longer shafted motor or a bow mounted I would put it up front. After reading the internet forecast for the next few days I went ahead and water sealed the wood in the dark by the light of lanterns. I have to take advantage of this warm, dry weather while I can. It won't be here for long that is for sure! EDIT: looking over my measurements the battery will be going right behind the first bench seat under the deck. I will probably mount the battery box somewhere under there semi-permanent. I will store the anchor and anchor rope under the bow, having those two things in the front should help with weight distribution. [/QUOTE]
