FF Battery box

Heres something I recently put together to keep my battery box from sliding around.

A dry box from Walmart. I gooped some of that stuff you line your drawers with to the bottom of the box for grip.


After I figured out where I wanted the box to sit, I roughed up the bottom of 2 pad eye's and the inside of the hull. I gooped a pad eye on each side of where the box will be situated........Yes, gooped. It's actually quite strong.


I sized up a piece of 1/4" bungee cord and put a open hook on each end. I tried the other type of hook with the locking tab and they are damn near impossible to unhook.


Tadaaaa, it sits in there nice and tight.

Great idea!
What did you use for the wire conector?

A deck plug from Hook1. http://kayakfishinggear.com/polarizedcableoutlet-12volt.aspx

 I buy the 1/4" shock cord at my local marine supply dealer. The ends I get from kayakfishinggear.com

Great work C-legs. Clean and functional.

The cord is sized by the outside diameter. It's the size most kayaks come with. I had some left over from re-routing and cutting off some of the excess around my tankwell.

You can buy everything from Hook1 or as already mentioned a marine supply.


Glad I was able to contribute.
