New battery box set up and xfactor rigging

So I'm going to start my build.
This is the first thing today
The new bright orange battery box
1 9ah 12v fishfinder/aux batt
1 12ah 6v bait pump

Plan is to run 2 out lines to waterproof "trailer" plug disconnects so I can remove the box if needed.

I also picked up the stuff to make my bait tank and also a bunch of Scotty parts and lastly a mark 4 hdi unit, I plan on changing to a elite 5hdi or better soon and move the mark 4 to the gfs yak

Are you going to install an on / off waterproof switch for the bait tank pump. On the battery box is the best place (keeps it most protected from the salt water). I have my battery box attached to the inside of the hull just to the side of the center hatch of my X Factor. It is held in place by 2 Velcro strips that are glued to the inside of the hull and the back of the battery box ( I used 3M weatherstrip cement), that keeps the box from sliding around, is still removable and does not take up room in the center hatch bag. Good luck on you project. Mark
