Our 43DC has eight six volt batteries in a painted plywood box between our transmissions from a previous owner. Our surveyor said it needs to be water tight. I'm not finding a 8 battery marine battery box. 4 twin 6v boxes are doable, but kinda bulky. Can anyone share their thoughts on a proper inverter bank enclosure? I will be replacing the batteries and cables at the same time. Regards Craig

Re: Inverter Bank Enclosure
Craig, an old friend of mine bought a plastic holding tank from WM and cut the top off. He made a frame for the top to fit back on. Very clean and custom. Cheap too. You can order any size you need to fit that space.

That's a great idea Rusty, I will fill that in my feeble brain. John

Re: Inverter Bank Enclosure
What size are the batteries? You might be able to do two boxes using something like these from Dyno:

Re: Inverter Bank Enclosure
Very interesting, I hadn't considered L16 batteries, four would provide 1480 AH vs 1856 for the eight shorty 6v we run now. Available in sets (4) for $1700 plus shipping if one were to go that route. I'll take some measurements to see if they will fit, I have to lay on our box when changing impellers. Thanks, Craig
