    Battery disconnect switched off in transit

    Resulted in some warm beers after a long drive when I very much needed a cold one! I tired, but it didn't seem possible to remove the key while in the on position. Anyway to lock it on in transit? I'm guessing one of my boxes must have bounced and hit it?

    I think tying bunnies up in there may result in the switch being hit while they hop around.
    Plus that would be cruel to tie up bunnies in there

    OK, but in practice, what do you even lash the bunnies too? There are no tie down cleats in the cargo hold of my 369rl.

    Skin one, wrap it all the way around the handle. Or, screw a small hook into the top of the compartment, or just cut the handle off, or leave the compartment empty. There are many solutions to your problem

    You could replace this switch with a surface mount marine battery switch on the other side of the wall in the front compartment.
