plainsman5 Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Does anyone have any pics of how they reinforced the floor of a pathfinder after moving batteries to console? Mine is a 2004 2200v. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 I had an 07' should be the same. I just cut a piece of 3/4" starboard to fit the area. Screwed to the deck with short screws the tank is below, but there is room you can look if you remove the tank access. Then attached the battery trays to the starboard. Sorry no pics, sold the boat.

Bamaskeet Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 I have a 2004 2200V, and reenforced the floor. I used Hobo's suggestion of using two pieces of aluminum angle. Basically, you cut two pieces of aluminum angle the width of the floor. You place one angle above the floor and one angle below the floor and bolt them together. I think I used 1" or 1 1/4" angle. They are placed just in front of the gas tank inspection plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainsman5 Posted November 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hurricane, i did just that but there’s still a substantial swag where the batteries sit. Bama, that sounds exactly what I need to do. I assume the console floor is sandwiched between the two pieces of angled aluminum? thank you both for your responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Yes, you sandwich the floor between the two aluminum angles. It stiffens the floor and also stops the batteries from moving back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 an overlay of starboard, no sag or flex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have batteries set apart, one far left and one far right if I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainsman5 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Possibly. I would assume my floor is thinner?? I also have 3 batteries in there. I installed 3/4 starboard and it still sagged. That starboard stops right before the gas access. When I get back home I will try and post a pic. Thanks for your help everyone.

justfish Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Mine had a thin plastic cover for the gas tank access that was cracking and flexed. Put in starboard replacement and worked fine with 3 batts sitting on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
