I've added a picture of a drawing of the stern of my tinny. The area is covered everywhere except for a hatch over battery #1 and the gas tank. It is a pretty normal arrangement, I think.
My problem is getting to the battery#2 and #3. The prior owner of the boat installed a metal closet rod in the area shown as a dark black line. Its function was simple enough...hold the two forward batteries from sliding around and banging into the plastic gas tank when underway.
Unfortunately, his choice of the closet rod wasn't the best. It is rusting AND it has some $^$^&%&% type of clips that hold it from being easily removed. I am going to have it pulled out completely.
What do you guys use to keep your batteries from sliding around in similar circumstances?
