Finally finished my battery mod.

I installed 2 - 6 volt, Trojan T105 batteries.

I got the battery box idea from Furpod, thank you Furpod.

Now on to the next mods.

Is that a battery disconnect on the top cover? I notice that my battery box fill up with water while in storage, any body else gave this issue?

Drill several 1/4" drain holes in the bottom.

Yes it is a on / off marine grade switch.
Regarding any water issues, just in case, I drilled several drainage holes in the bottom of the box.
