Anybody found a better way to strap down batteries than using those nylon straps that never seem to last a season?
Are you talking about strapping down the actual battery or the battery box? If the actual battery, you have to make sure whatever method you decide to use, that it doesn't short out the battery if it moves during trailering or boating. They do make metal hold down battery clamps, and a lot of them are rubber coated metal. Maybe you could look for one of them. Just an idea...Anybody found a better way to strap down batteries than using those nylon straps that never seem to last a season?
Been using these for yearsAnybody found a better way to strap down batteries than using those nylon straps that never seem to last a season?
Yeah, I have never replaced a battery strap. Every boat I ever had the strap lasted the life of the boat. My last boat was 35 years old with the original strap.My battery box is black plastic, held down by a 2 inch wide nylon strap with a plastic buckle.....been on there since 1999 when I bought the boat new....never any problems at all...
