G'day Yamp,

I have my cranking battery in the spot under the floor and the deep cycle for the electric in a battery box that sits on the floor just in front of the extension I did to the front casting deck. The battery box is held down with a strap. I am at work at the moment, when I get home I'll post up a pic for you.

Cheers

John

No worries Yamp - what I think I'll end up doing is extending the casting deck further back but having the front open so I can keep the battery under the extension and slide tackle bags and things under and out of the way. Here is a link to some some picks of the reno from and old post. - http://www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/showthread.php?t=67331&highlight=400+hornet+reno

Hope that link works - if not just do a search on 400 hornet reno.

Cheers
