Hi guys,
I'm planning on mounting a battery for an electric trolling motor in my 170.
I plan on putting it on the floor in the center of the boat, just in front of the rudder, so the tiller handle will pass over it.
I'm just looking for some ideas on how to secure it to the floor.(type of hardware or bracket)

Thanks for any ideas.

I mounted a battery in the same spot when I had my 170. I mounted the battery to a steel tray. The tray was secured to the boat using Wellnuts. They worked really well in the plastic hull. I then covered the whole thing with a car center console from Meijers that had two cup holders & a small compartment.
