adhesive for inside Malibu? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have a small piece of pool noodle cut in half glued to the bottom of the battery box. It keeps if from slamming around and making any noise, but its not a fixed installation.

Right now I use one of those foam covered twisty type wires and loop it around the handle of the battery case and the scupper pipe. Works.

I keep my battery box from moving with some velcro strips about 2 inches wide. I sanded the inside area (to get a smoother area and some texture for the adhesive) and then I used 3M black weather strip adhesive on both the battery box side and the inside of the kayak. The velcro stays and I only have to lay it down and apply slight pressure. To remove the battery box I just gently pull it up.
