How do you Attach your battery boxs in your kayak?
How do you guys fasten or attach your battery boxes in your yak?
Im trying to decide how I want to attach my battery boxes, I used to just leave them in my front hatch clipped inside my life vest. I am interested in getting some new Ideas.

I am lucky in this way....
I have a small canvas shop, so I made up some velcro straps and closed cell foam pads so I can stuff my battery into the hatch and velcro strap it to my skuppers so my battery cant move. But I could do the same thing with some rope, etc...
On my wifes yak, I made a foam triangle to keep the battery centered as her boat has a definate V shape, but again I sewed up velcro staps to hold the battery in place... Works great! I also smear dialectric grease on all connections like toothpaste on a brush, and then clean/ re- do every 8-10 trips... No problems so far... Cowboybill

Truthfully, I attatch the leads, roll it up in a dry bad and let it set in the hull, or sometimes the milk crate. Never had a problem.

You might be able to get this from OK. It is suspended in front of the forward hatch at four points.

I just bought some sticky backed velcro from wal-mart and after scuffing the inside bottom of the front hatch and bottom of the battery box just stuck it to the boat. Works good so far, hasnt come loose or moved around at all in the 6 months that its been mounted. I can take the battery out for charging without removing the box.
