However, if your installing a battery box, you might want to think about mounting it inside the yak, to as you stated, keep the center of gravity low.
Not for a battery box, just gear storage. When I get my finder all will be ran and mounted inside.just need someplace to keep tackle and tools. And leave enough space for a couple flush mounts. But good info on the angle gauge. Probably a dumb question but what is 5200? I'm guessing its a grade of stainless but I'm a laymen when it comes to this stuff.
