I'm considering moving the battery on my 175 from back aft to the firewall with one of Atlee's firewall brackets. Unfortunately, his STC covers 180/185 and 170, but not 175.

Anyone had any experience installing one of these in a 172 or 175?

No, but the STC SA02333AK lists C-175 in the Approved Model List: http://www.fadodge.com/wp-content/uploa ... EF-STC.pdf

That looks like maybe a stock 170 style box. That's where I was thinking of mounting a rack and Odyssey battery. I'll call Dave when I have a couple hours to burn.

See my edited post above Mike. It's approved.

Hmmm, don’t know why I didn’t find that on their website earlier. Thanks!

Another option is Burl’s Aircraft for a battery box for the Odessey. I chose it because I could straddle my seaplane engine mount, and mount the box level. Battery comes out the front instead of out the top. Atlee Dodge may be best for you, but offered for comparison. Has STC and the AML included my 185.

Edit: AML is 180/185 only

Their webpage door front for item 8008-01 (http://www.fadodge.com/battery-rack-firewall/) needs revision to reflect the updated Approved Model List and FAA/PMA. It's available via a supplement to the STC below and noted via installation instructions linked on that page:

Current FAA/PMA approval:
