[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 442485, member: 22989"] Those are perfect as they are designed to contain and vent the explosion if one should occur, thats what the 4-6 big vents are for. People tend to think the vents are for cables and the strap is to keep the lid from coming lose. The vents vent gasses and the strap contains the blast. The golf cart and battery issues reminded me of a cheap co worker that thought nothing of using automotive switches and connectors until his bilge fan wouldn't come on and he went and jiggled the wires. The explosion sent him overboard and trapped his wife in the cabin where she was able to wiggle out of a window to the water and swim away. They were in barnegate bay when this happened and got picked up almost immediately and watched the boat burn to the water. My biggest fear would be an overcharged battery while underway due to an older motors bad charging circuit or homebrew wiring with the gasses building up under the decking. You may get away with this dozens of times but you only need to get hurt once. [/QUOTE]
