[C320-list] Battery box's

[Jeffrey Hare]

Don,

   I think the only thing I'd do is take a piece of nylon webbing and strap
all the batteries together.  They won't go anywhere in the conditions most
of us see sailing.  If you're going offshore and think you might have a
knockdown, then I'd buy a larger tray with hold-down clamps..  Mostly, don't
worry about it unless they are *easy* to slide around.

I have hull #165 and it has 4, 6V golf cart batteries installed. The
batteries are to big for the fiberglass box's and someone broke the ends
out. There is nothing keeping the batteries from sliding out the ends. Has
anyone modified their box's to accommodate golf cart batteries?
