Pics of the surepower set up? Anyone? Anyone?

I tried emailing them, by the way. Any suggestions on contacting them...no word back so far.

Along this same subject. I want to build a drop-box in the floor of my boat. Yall have any ideas on this?? Just a regular batt-box or something better? What do you think??

In our old bu, we cut out the floor the size of the battery box, and dropped the box down in the hole. the handles on the side of the box hold it up, so it ends up sticking up about an inch from the floor max. Worked great fro 10+ years.

Thats a good idea. thanks man.

I've seen a bunch of rebuilds on the Correct Craft Fan forum I'm on. I've never paid close attention, but a lot of them have this type of set up for their battery boxes. I would assume they either do what dusty mentioned or it is a standard art you can buy from Correct Craft.

Not too sure about the Sure Power set up, I bought a Bep VSR dual batt switch used, on here last spring and installed it. Best thing ever, no worries with a back batt..... Especially for my hard starting antique!!

Hey Dusty..how did you finish the hole out?? Glass it in, then drop the box? Sticking up a inch or so would be great, that would keep water from getting inside of the box.

So, does nobody have pictures of their Sure Power set up? I'd like to see how it looks and what the wiring is like. I'm almost positive it is the way I want to go. Inexpensive and simple, it seems.

Yeah, We did that hole when we replaced the floor in it. So the cut out was made before the new carpet was laid. The hole was just glassed with the new floor, and then the box just dropped right in. Completely removable.

Ok, I've been doing lots of searching on this topic, need some advice!! On a scale of 1-10 how difficult is this install using one of the mentioned products?? The qoute I got from my dealer was $450!! I think that's insane and am somewhat mechanically inclined. Is there a how to or directions somewhere I haven't seen?!
