From the factory, mine were in shallow trays with a thin seat belt strap/ quick release clip over each. Not very secure I thought, especially as each tray had one short side removed to allow the 110 A/H batteries to fit; British batteries are evidently a different lenght x width shape to American ones! I made my own bracket; a flat bar and 3 threaded uprights, similar in concept to the one in the photo, except the bar holding the batteries down goes across both batteries across their width rather than their length.
The terminals were also originally not insulated; the original US insulators were there on the cables, but they don't fit over the UK connections! Remedied before I put it on the water.
Mine is about the same, sits in a battery tray but has a cross-over solid plastic piece that screws down with big plastic wing-nuts. Come to think of it, the battery terminals have wing-nuts on top as well, not the small nuts you see in the picture.

Nope ,have the basic box with a seat belt across the top. However I took off the wing nut off the engine battery and put on stainless steel and a little electrical grease as the newer motors need their juice.However I left the trolling one alone as it gets moved more.
