Ideas on how to secure ammo/battery box?

**captdave** · 05-30-2021, 07:28 PM

I am about to install new fish finder with livescope on bow. I bought a lithium battery and placed it in a ammo box to provide power. I would like some ideas from y'all to help in securing the ammo box up front. My boat takes a pounding in the lake I fish when in the main channel. I was thinking I would secure it to the post on the seat on the bow but I am not gifted with very good creativity but many of y'all are...... Anybody have some suggestions of how to secure the battery box? Thanks!

To put it on the seat post I would use 2 U bolts drill holes in the box and bolt around the post. Might be a good idea to use something to take up space in the box so the battery can not move around and short out. Pool noddle may work a a sort of packing peanuts

I would also get a battery strap and mod to inside the box to help secure the battery and then do what dockshooter said.

I use a 32 ah from Amped Outdoors and cheap plastic ammo box from Harbor Freight . There is a nice tight fit . Name: 121594243_1765868753581472_4869985909833972256_n.jpg
