Hey.. what did you use for the new tie down? I just got the D31M and I'm using a bungee cord until I get a real tie down set up. I'm heading to home depot today to look at some brackets... but if you have any hints, let me know. The hood insulation definitely hits the top of the battery.. but for right now that's holding her in well anyway... $225 with tax.. hopefully this is the battery I'm looking for. If I don't start the vx for 3 days or so, my old battery would die. I'm thinking with the deep cycle I'll be ok now...
