Thank you to everyone who commented and helped me out. I appreciate you giving me your time. 💯👍

Battery, circuit breaker and fuse box will be in close proximity to each other with the battery also in its own secured dowb box - everything will then be inside a larger aluminum box that is already on the boat. I just figured I would add the single circuit on/off switch so it could be placed...

I redid the diagram - is it workable?

To be honest I haven't even used the boat yet. It is a work in progress.

I researched Mercury and it said they use 4awg on their outboards.

Starter/Deep Cycle battery

The boat is a 16ft Alumacraft. The battery is approx 3ft from the motor. The motor cables don't have a AWG size on them.Infact they have no labeling whatsoever. I am guessing they are 4awg because they are slightly thicker than a 6awg cable I have (compared them next to each other the Mercury...

I have a 40A circuit breaker. Would that work?

I am about to wire everything up and wanted to know if the basic electrical diagram I created looks correct (never done this before). Are the wire sizes correct? I have a combination battery starter/Deep Cycle - kill switch - fuse box - switch panel - and just simple accessories to connect to...

Yeah, I'll take it out rinse it off and back in the garage. Not sure whether to go with outdoor carpet or 'tough coat' for the plywood floor.🤔

H.Depot only has the 1" pink board so I got this 2" from Lowes (the guy said it was closed cell). And I am recycling some aluminum ladders as extra support lol

Yes, forgot to mention plywood ontop also🙂

With the price of aluminum these days is the use of flotation foam as a floor support advisable? (only poured in specific places). I also have 2" insulation foam board that I was planning in placing between the ribs.

G-Flex 650 ordered🙂

My guess: it looks like it was set to hard with an air tool.

Or a good dose of flex seal 😆

I think the PO already did that and cracked the aluminum on one of them..

I am trying to replace leaky rivets but don't know the type or size of them (they go from the bottom of the boat and through the ribs). I bought a rivet gun that takes 3/16 blind rivets...would those even work? I don't have the tools for anything bigger.

Yes, I received the two containers. I was just stumped when I opened the can.. I thought they had run out epoxy and sent me what they had left lol
