Upgraded from a plastic hold down bracket and buckle strap to metal brackets with nylon strap and metal cam lock for my battery box. Feel better with the metal bracket and cam lock holding down my 70 lb battery!

Hey Crannman -- if you don't mind, what is that box? I would like to enclose my TM circuit breaker in something like that.

Hello LDUBS, it’s a PELICAN 1020 Micro Case Series box. I did need to drill a small hole for the reset button to work, as well as for the circuit breaker battery and trolling motor wires. Fed cut end of wire through holes drilled in the corners. I used an exacto knife and cut the liner of the box around the circuit breaker and volt meter to have a smooth surface then mounted everything using sticky back Velcro. Drilled the hole with a drill bit made for plexiglass then shaped with Dremel router bit.

Test Run 11/21/20
Test run went very well today! Boat is dry and slipped through the water nicely! Electrical system works great!
The only thing I may consider doing is installing swivel seats!

Seat mounts:
Counter bored all the mounting holes on the bottom of the mount plate that will attach to the bench seat. Outer flange of rivet nut will be recessed into the mount plate and provide more surface area for the seat mount.

Next is to drill the center holes for the pin mount, drill and install the rivet nuts and then attach the bottom seat mounts!
