Lunch Box maybe?

These were on my old boat. They were totally independent 110 AHr leisure, one per engine, no crossover and the lekkie all ran off the Port side battery. I just carried a set of jump leads in case the worst happened...

Of course, they were Etecs and once started, didn't need a battery.

I really hope you never need to drill a hole in your console. I dont think I could take another how to drill a hole thread.

My only advice would be to get on thats big enought to allow a layer of foam on the bottom and sides.

Well here's mine, available in all sizes.

I can say it took a wave over the side this afternoon though, and remained totally bone dry inside

This is the only pictures I have showing the battery trays on the RH front side of the console. If this threads still going in a couple of days I'll take a couple of pics of the finished thing.

Mine is a one off design, made from ABS. It does not bolt to anything but instead slides into its mount which bolts to the floor. My Save-A-Boat-Dive tool box also got a similar mount made once I had the time. The point was to have everything removable for beach launching. After all the Odyssey 925 and everything weighs 35 lbs.

I know I know a piece of junk SIB but it is paid for!
