Ross, when I can, I prefer to not add a switch, this one I just have the battery in the center hatch and hook up the spade connectors when ready to use the tank. A toggle could easily be added wherever wanted. If I wanted to free up space in the hatch insert I'd use a battery box.

That's a great way to mount a FF. It also stiffens up the stock plastic track near where it's mounted. I added a cutting board the same way. Doesn't the 13.5 have a built in battery tray similar to the 15.5? I like to be able to turn the pump on/off so I mounted a switch near the seat.

Alan, no battery tray in the 13.5, like your FF mount and cutting board!

I rigged up the Yakattack mounting plate yesterday, these are a cool way to set up, cost $30

I'm falling deeper and deeper in lust with this kayak. It just seems so well thought out.
