Battery Boxes
I need two metal battery boxes with lids. Not to be used for bateries but I'm sure they would be perfect. I have weight in the bow(lead shot) and I don't want it to bounce around so I was going to mount a box in each pickle fork and put the lead inside. IDEAS? Otto

Hey 36 spectre,
Here is a little rigging trick from the masters. Use workout weights and mount them through the center of the weight.:cool: |
Guys two great ides that I have not heard before. OSO never lets you down. How would you go about mounting to the foward bulk head.Otto
|
Why not just put two sealed batteries up there- weight off the transom and weight in the bow where you want it.
|
Did one job a while back where they did not want the weight to be seen at all in the boat, So I made a simple thick Paste of Resin,cabosil,milled fiber and buckshot Filled the Keel and up the stem knee I shaped it to once again resemble the Hull then glassed over and re finished the area with Interior gel coat. untill this day I do not believe they Know there is 200 pounds of lead in the front of the Boat.
Best Regards:) |
Too long a run for cables(32 feet to starters)Voltage drop, charging is a nightmare, battery switches and cabling would be a thousand dollars. But thanks forthe idea. Otto

Steve but it makes it hard to change the weight for sea conditions.
|
I was just reminiscing about adding weight when I read the post! If you want a variable use a water tank
best Regards:) |
I'm in a hurry and want to do it myself. Probably will put balast tank in over the winter.

PVC sounds like the trick. You could use that expanding foam to hold it in place and have a removable cap on the end. Would work with water as well.
