Here's how I placed the R/C equipment on the Lady Lois. The batteries are in the engine room ( photo in next posting).

Here's the engine room. I had to set the battery down in the hull for it was a big 6volt 5 amphour gel cell that let me run all weekend without charging. In front of that are the batteries for the reciever. Notice the brass plate with a on/ off swith forthe main battery, reciever battery, and a charge socket for the charger to plug into.
