Part-2 batteries moved and TM rewiring

I didn't want to drill larger holes in the OEM accessory panel.
(1) TM plug panel fabricated from scrap 1/8" sheet metal (got the idea from BBC board).
(2) Deltran Trolling Motor plug added it will handle up to 48V system I believe "Catftan" recommended it to another poster awhile back. This thing is a TM plug on steroids.
(3) Rod socks were used to cover TM cables and clean up cluttered at the console, available in many colors and cheap another BBC board idea.
(4) Relocated 3-bank charger to the rod locker and extended one cable to transom, never used it for rod storage anyway. it is mounted to a section of cutting board then attached to wall with stainless steel 1/4"nuts and bolts.
(5) Gas struts installed on both rod locker lids to keep it open for air circulation during charging.
(6) Changed out the plastic cup holder on console for a stainless.

Those are some great modifications you made. Well thought out and skillfully executed! What are the specs on the gas struts? I would like to add some to my hatches, too.

Nice clean work.
