May 9, 2016. Jerry Slaughter (ROWDY, Marscot/O'Day #5) installed new battery boxes in the forward ends of ROWDY's q-berth lockers. His email is below - minor edits

I wanted to make a couple of access hatches for the batteries and I took a couple of pictures that might show what I did but they also show the need for some touch up paint......

The battery storage areas are under the quarter berths, port and starboard. The hull is angular there so I made a couple of platforms to flatten out the area. I also wanted to be able to lift the batteries straight up and not fight with sliding the beasts around and busting my knuckles trying to wire them. I still have to attach the tie down straps but that's it.
