In the early days of shipping Magnums to Italy they also would add weight to the front so they would comply with Italian boating laws. This comes from Sonny Miller who was one of the 2-3 people on Don on private payroll.

Put them in the front compartment. make sure they are well protected as the tend to slide around a little bit. Last thing you want to be doing to cleaning up sand.
