    I have four 31 series batteries in my boat. I need to make some holders. Right now I have jugs locking them in from moving. Not the best way but it’s working good right now to get me by

    How do you plan to mount the new battery box? Mine are riveted in and don't see a way to use a wrench with a bolt/nut. I'm going with a 31 series on the starting battery and thought about the 2 trolling as well. My boxes measure right at 13" ID, going to be close with the 31's

    Yes sir. 3 bank charger on the left and a single bank on the right. Running a 36v trolling motor. When it comes to weight in a boat I think mine would be labeled obese

    I have 4 of the 27 group batteries, 3 on passenger side. I used this and it fits snug on that side.

    I have 3 group 31. Two on the passenger side with the oil tank and the cranking battery with the 3 bank charger on the driver side. I also have a group 27 on the driver side to run the two helix 10’s and just use a regular charger for it.

    The type of blind nut that sucks up like a wall anchor. I did some research after posting and found rivnuts in a couple of styles from 8-32 to 3/8-16 thread. Could only find the grip length on the 1/4-20. If they are long enough, this looks like a good alternative to using screws to hold the pan in place and using bolts instead.

    I didn’t realize you are from Mississippi, it’s great to have another Stroker in the state. You and I make up half of the known Stroker population in Ms. Theres one in Ripley that’s not water worthy and there’s an old man that lives around Southaven.

    I have a few things left to do to mine, not much, I am remounting engine with larger bolts, clean up transom where plate attaches, add a few more lights, pack wheel bearings replace seals and brake pads, plus plugs, thermostats, gaskets few other little things and head out to fish when weather permits. I have a 20 acre lake behind my house I am going to hit pretty soon. caught one last year little bit over 12
