the obvious place to mount it was the engine well

used a small angle router blade as opposed to a half round... looks more crisp

the right angle braces help stabilize the sides

screws provide a lot of shear to hold the pressure pulling away from the mounting surface

half inch starboard shaped with double thick cardboard template

THE PROBLEM: It\'s large milk crate was taking up almost all the starboard aft storage area. I bought a vertical mount that didn\'t fit, so I made this one.

Good observation… heat is a consideration… especially for those of us who live here in the sweltering tropics. Even when pushed all the way starboard, the hull angles away to stern and upwards so there is room for convection. I will keep an eye on it moving forward… haven’t had the opportunity...

I wanted to add the 200ah house battery salvaged from the 25. The 2nd switch allows the new battery to be used as a second house battery for instruments and lighting when switched to “2” or independently connected to inverter when switched to “1” the regular house battery does instruments and...

the dehumidifier can now be left on while boat is in the shed with the drain tube running through a thru hull into a bucket

the aluminum angle brackets slide on and off bolts had nylock nuts and washers on the inside of the drawer sliders

this switch could be off, auto on, or manual

back view of the switch panel

used the marine grade cable as it was very flexible for the long run from the port transom to the starboard cabin location

can now make coffee, run the dehumidifier and charge usb items in cabin

didn\'t want to combine with primary pump or make new thru hull so I ran the hose through to transom via the engine control boot

angle aluminum screwed into cabinets and bolted to plywood panel House Battery 2 connects directly to inverter via buss so short run reduces resistance as the big battery?s main job is 110v AC and backup for House Battery 1 if needed.

panel for mounting inverter without drilling into outer hull

the battery weighs 135 lbs and can be shifted 10\" towards midship to help trim when single handing... then moved starboard with passngers. Eventually, if needed I can add a second there in parallel for mucho amp hours

the large group D battery fit perfectly between the two storage areas. The angle aluminum at the top edge holds it down firmly and the movable angle brackets allow the lateral movement

wanted the large battery close to the inverter to reduce resistance and power loss
