You can just loop the discharge over the transom, if you don't want to cut a hole in the boat. You can get a little 12V lithium battery for $50 now that weighs about as much as a bottle of water, and you can also run other stuff of it. As mentioned, it's a pretty important part of the boat, I wouldn't want my life to depend on AA batteries, or have them be potentially the only thing keeping my boat from ending up on the bottom of the lake.</blockquote>
