    Electrical and parts for someone doing a boat project

    Thanks! You know what is even more insane? I sold it on eBay the other day for $150 with free shipping. I'm kind of crazy like that so you have to jump when the jumping good;-)

    Electrical and parts for someone doing a boat project

    Hey guys, I purchased a load of stuff in preparation for doing a boat project. Turns out that I am going to partner up in a boat with a friend of mine. So I am going to be selling the project boat and of course I no longer need the items I bought for it. Below is a picture of what I have...

    first fish finder. need help

    hmmm interesting. I was getting it from Bass Pro but I also checked Cabelas and I thought I read it very well looking for the transducer. Apparently I did not read it well enough, at least on the Cabelas site. Thanks!

    first fish finder. need help

    Hi guys. I am buying my first fish finder. I have no real experience with them so everything is pretty much new to me. I was about to pull the trigger on a Lowrance Elite-4 CHIRP 83/200 455/800 Combo, but just before I hit purchase, I noticed it said "unit only". So that made me look a little...

    best way to connect smaller wires to larger

    I bought some seasense lights with small gauge wire. I think it maybe 20 gauge but I don't have them here with me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002SWGPFM/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also bought 14 ga. tinned marine wire for the runs but I am not sure of the best way to...

    adding bow eye. will it weaken

    Mine is such an old boat that it didn't have one that year that I can see. When they finally did put them on it was V shaped to fit the seam and rivited on. I have looked around but I can only find the stud type that you have to drill for. I bought one a while back but have not put it on yet...

    adding bow eye. will it weaken

    LOL. Okay that is some good info right there! Let's keep it comin'. Above the water line, below the rubber roller - check.

    adding bow eye. will it weaken

    My old boat does not have a bow eye. I was going to add one but I want to be sure that it will not weaken the structure. Below is a picture of where I was going to mount it. I would drill the one or two holes required in the main seam and then put a backing on the inside for the additional...

    double fuses?

    Oh that is perfect! I like that. Thank you for taking the time to do that for me. I will do it the way you show. Would it make sense to put the negative bus back by the switch also and run a 10 ga. to that? Or would the neg bus location be more a matter of what is the shortest/easiest location...

    double fuses?

    That's good info. Thank you. So maybe I should just go back to my original plan in my first post in this thread. Just take out the busbars and put back in the fuse panel in the location the busbars are in my drawing now. Then I would go from the battery positive to a fuse then to the main...

    double fuses?

    Thank you for the tips. I should have made it clearer on the grounds - all of them are running back to the ground bus bar not to the hull. I removed the ground lines on the drawing for better clarity but it seems it just confused things. LOL If I understand you correctly, I could take the...

    double fuses?

    Can someone please check the wiring layout here for obvious omissions or things I have missed? This is a 14 ft boat. I may move the battery back to between the 2nd seat forward and the 3rd seat and put it to the left side of the boat in an enclosure I build. I want it forward to balance out the...

    double fuses?

    This is what I believe to be true but others will chime in with the real truth. LOL for the fuse for the fuse box should be one sized to cover the total amperage of the accessories hooked to it. Add up the amp draw from each accessory and be sure to use the amps that the cig lighter is rated...
