Kow about keep your boat clear of tripping hazards like wires.
When I bought my boat it came with a Minnkota trolling motor on the front of it. The guy who had it used to take the spare battery and set it up in the front of the boat for trolling power. I did this once and found it quite a nusance. The battery would fall over in rough water and worst of all, your feet would get wrapped up in the wires when sitting in the front seat. I needed something a little more permanent yet still be able to unplug the troling motor so I could remove it when its sitting in storage.
So I came up with this idea, I went to Lowe's and bought a electrical wall plug and outlet, used an old exrension cord and ran it from my battery to the plug.
