[QUOTE="Talons, post: 284431, member: 9778"] While weed-eating (trimming) my yard, this AM. I started thinking about using all that scrap metal I was cutting off of the main pieces. So, I decided where the battery is going to go in the boat. And then this AM, I decided to fabricate a home made battery holder out of the scrap aluminum I have lying around. The basic idea is one of 'strips' of aluminum arranged in such a way as the batter can be easily removed either out the side or top if there is a hatch there. The flanges are to be mounted on the underneath side of the new front deck. The battery holder will be mounted aft of the new gas tank. I did all the bending myself with my workmake, a 2x4, a fish fillet board and a rubber mallet. (Homemade breakpress 4TW). The bends came out just fine for what I was trying to accomplish. Then the two pieces are riveted together with 6 rivets. Personally, I could have done a more 'professional' job, but meh, it is for my own boat and it was scrap metal I was not going to be using for anything else. Overall, I think it came out alright. Enjoy the pics! Talons [/QUOTE]
