I have a trolling motor set up on my kayak. I have removed the trolling motor controls and replaced the controls with a remote controlled ESC. I am powering it with dual 40ah Valence LiFePO4 batts in a Harbor Freight pelican style case. While much lighter than lead acid, I want to try to lighten the load some more. I have seen some of Will's builds with prizmatic cells. I think I could take 8-10lbs off, and stay at 4S, 80-100ah. Before I dive in, I want to make sure I can find a water proof case that will be just big enough to fit the cells and BMS, without a lot of extra room.

Has anyone found a water proof case for that size cells?
