To gain more space under the center hatch of the Jackson Cuda 14 I’v decided to rewire the location of the battery box. Using a piece of plexy glass I had lying around in the garage i cut a plate that would make a shelf. Then using Lexel I basically glued it in. This shelf will keep my battery centered and stowed. This way its not flopping around.
I let that set with the battery box sitting on it for a day. Then left it alone for a few weeks to see if it getting wet would break the Lexel bond to the kayak. As we know not much sticks to the poly.
I used an existing install and my existing battery box. All i did was extend the wires for the power to the stern.
Using some adhesive velcro I mounted the box to the plexy glass and now its removable!
This install will work on pretty much any kayak with an open hull and a rear hatch.
