Description: 1 280ah 48v battery in engine bay, a second identical battery mounted next to mast under new larger bench seating.

Hindsight: Initially hard mounted with custom ss mount plate. Too much noise and vibration so later removed motor assembly and re mounted with suitable engine mounts and angle steel. Now almost silent and much smoother.

Questions & Comments
Motor and reduction were originally hard mounted with a custom motor plate but too much noise and vibration was felt. Later removed this and installed with suitable flexible engine mounts and associated steel. Huge difference and much smoother and quieter.
