[QUOTE="gah319, post: 355543, member: 13154"] So here are the pictures of the finished product. All the positive connections on the batteries and breaker are covered with liquid electrical tape for insulation. The battery boxes would not fit under the angle aluminum. Not going to win any speed records with just a 9.9 pushing this boat, but most all of the lakes are electric only or either less than 10 hp or idle speed only. Only on the river can I open the throttle up. I had a lot of fun getting this to where it is. The wife is very happy with how it turned out. She did not want to drive it yesterday, but was thrilled to be fishing out of it. I will say it is best to double check all the bolts and nuts on the trailer once it has been taken apart. When I got home I found that the bolts holding the winch to the trailer did not have tight nuts. Only one was still on. Did not lose the bolts, but two of three nuts are gone. Replacing with nylon locking nuts tonight. [/QUOTE]
