I ran two 2 gauge cables, 16 and 17 feet respectively and would guess they weighed 10 lbs.

On thinking about the effort, it may be less work to fab a "splash door" with two hinged openings then to move the console, lift the deck and reinstall the battery switch and cut the console floor.

My project album illustrates it is not a quick task.

If I were to build a spash door, I would use marine ply and a complementary color of exterior paint. This would save you from the weight of starboard and eliminate the need to gelcoat or epoxy paint.

Just thoughts to consider.

It would be great to see you make a personal page showing the rear transom area.
