[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 186776, member: 4251"] I am wanting to clean up the wiring mess in my 04 PT 175 at the batteries. The batts are beside the gas tank, and covered all the time by the comparment lid, but its' just a pain to try and do anything simple like putting water in the batts due to all the wiring. The wiring for the TM batt is not so bad as it only has the main TM +/- wires and on board charger wires on it. The cranking batt has all the +/-'s for everything else, bilge, livewell, DF/FF, acc, on board charger, etc. There are at least 4 of each not counting the main +/- for the big motor. How can I clean up the snake fest?? I've thought of consolidating all (FF/bilge/acc/charger) the +/-'s into one connection for + and one for neg. If this is safe, what size wire would be good since most of these wires are the oem wiring? Any other options I can consider. [/QUOTE]
