Hi All,
New to the site, and just got a 2013 Tracker V-14 from BassPro. Nice boat, but everything is DIY as far as add-ons. Im looking to get a switch panel but I wanted to hear some ideas bc I'd like to get one that will have extra switches in case I wanted to add stuff later.
I would need switches for the following equip:
Bow lights/stern lights together with a DPDT switch (LED strips from Oznium, courtesy of an idea borrowed from this site)
Interior LED's (for night fishing) (connect to its own switch)
Radio (future buy, not yet worried, but like to have a switch set aside for that as well)
Possible bilge pump (not sure if needed yet or not, but i may install at a later time)
Also, id like to get a panel that has a cigarette lighter if possible (again, any suggestions)
My thinking so far is that I could run the bow and stern lights together on a single switch (but it'd have to be a DPDT switch, are there any panels out there that have one DPDT switch just for that specific purpose?)
Anyone have any suggestions on a good panel thats fairly inexpensive? Ive seen some threads that use the Seasense panels, and some ppl just went to Lowes and got a junction box, but how they made it water-proof/resistant is beyond me?
Basically, I have a new boat and looking for any/all ideas to make it happen :LOL2: The sooner the better, bc nothings worse than having a new boat sitting in the yard begging to be taken out in the beginning of summer, but not yet having the work done to take it out
