Battery Mount in 170CC
The battery on my 170CC just sits in the starboard compartment at the rear of the boat. There's a strap that kind of holds it in place, but it isn't secure by any means. I imagine some dealers and certainly some of you have rigged up a better mounting solution. Would appreciate hearing what you've done.

Mine is in (came from the dealer that way) a plastic battery box and is secured with a tie down. It doesn't budge.

Mine is in the starboard compartment also in a box. Any body ever considered or converted to a dual battery set up with battery switch inside the console?

I'd be interested in having a separate battery for starting and one for accessories. I run a depth finder, stereo and am about to add a VHF. A separate starting battery would allow me to run those options with abandon with out having to be concerned about if there is enough power to restart the engine.

O.K. I understand. I have only a fishfinder hooked up to mine and it doesn't require that much power.

I have two 12 volt deep cycle batteries under my center console for my trolling motor. If my main battery dies, I can use one of them. I know they are not designed for starting but they will get the job done in a pinch.

I installed a 2nd battery under the center console to run the electronics (fish finder, gps, radio) along with a battery switch. Nice to have that as a backup should the starter battery die.

Tygh,
What was involved in installing that second battery? I have had some problems w/mine since adding some electronics. I was thinking of adding a daul battery. If there is to much to post E-Mail me at kirkpatrick009@yahoo.com Brian
