I'm thinking about getting a piece of angle iron for a mounting bracket.
I got a Group 7 battery at Costco for around $100. Works great. The Minn Kota battery box is under $100. If you decide to wire up your own breaker ($50-ish) you will need to get the appropriate gauge wire (see the Minn Kota manual for recommended gauge). Otherwise, you don't need any extra cables (unless you want to put the battery further fore than the motor's built-in cables allow you to).
