Hmm... Not sure how I missed this.

I think I'll probably end up with something similar, if I don't/can't move the bucket actuator. I just hate the thought of losing storage space, which I feel is at a premium on this boat.

I notice that you still have, what appears to be, the OEM battery switch. Did you hook up another or are they connected in parallel?

You can move the IST system without an issue. Just unscrew it, place the battery, then screw it back. Just make sure the cable is as straight as possible. I did it when my boat had the IST retrofitted on it. Just take your time.

Thanks! Good to have additional confirmation. I'm thinking this is certainly the way I'll go. Do you have any pics on how you oriented stuff?
