The wood that you see on either side of the batteries is wedge
shaped
and is screwed into the fiberglass. The photo is rather old
and there
are now longer pieces which run the full length of the
batteries and
have 4 screws in them (I think) per side. The screws would
have to
cut their way through the fiberglass to let the battery fall.
I feel
rather secure with this arrangement.


Oh, ok. I see so many boat batteries just waiting to be dangling
from their crimp connectors.

Let's pitchpole it and see how the screws stand the POUNDING of
the surf, 90 miles at sea.......yecch.
It's not going to pitchpole at the dock, slowly rolling over to
slowly put the weight of the batteries on those screws. No, it's
going to roll over in pounding ocean waves that will make a 150
pound battery peak out with 5Gs of pounding force at 750 pounds,
each. If it'll suspend 750 pounds of dynamic force....it'll be
fine.
