I'm trying to figure out how to mount a Minn Kota 330PC.

Does it matter if it is upside down? The wiring would look better this way.

The other option is mounting it in the bottom of the battery locker. I'm guessing this is a bad ideal, due to stuff getting dropped on top of it.

Should I just mount it right side up in the side of the locker and just use a bunch of flexible wire loom?
