Level Battery compartment

On my 2004 170 Bass, the starting battery is in the right rear compartment ( starboard) sitting at a list since the bottom of this compartment is not very level. The bottom is really two different levels.
Half is one level and then there is a drop to another level. Has anyone built a battery stand/support
for this battery. I already use a battery box but it sortof sits at an angle. I just installed a second
bilge pump to be used as a functional backup in case the original fails. Getting this battery level
would be a good next project. Any ideas. Thanks in advance.

Hey Dave
How about something along these lines that somebody came up with for the rear of a 190 using PVC pipe and shelving material

Hi Dave
You know that the pvc and shelving idea just may work. I searched for battery compartment prior to my post and I must have missed that one. I'll give it a try. Thanks Dave K

Let me know how it works out and you are most welcome Brother! And you did not miss it on your search since I just re-posted those pictures when I sent you that note If it works out well though, do let me know Dave and I will post it as a work around "sticky" thread for all the 170 owners to view...
