I was looking to get a small lawn battery for my fishfinder, cab lights, and nav. lights. My question is: how can I hook up my new battery terminals to this battery without them sticking straight up? I liked these terminals because I can disconnect all of the accessories at once to charge...

I'm not looking to upgrade anytime soon, but was dreaming about the future. I was wondering what you guys think would be the best Deep V aluminum (of course) boat to mod? I think some of the main concerns would be beam, length, stability, welded vs. riveted, price, quality, etc.

Sorry this is a re-post, but I have a few main questions. 1. Does this diagram seem to make sense? Will I be able to wire it like this? 2. Do I need to use larger wire from switch panel to battery? (#12 or #10 for higher amperage) 3. What would be the best way to join the wires near the...

Can you run say 2 12v outlets in series? Basically I want to reduce wiring back to the battery by running the outlets in series. Is that something I can get away with? Also when I run my switch panel, I wanted to run the negatives of my nav lights and cab lights in series, but the positives...

I am an amateur at electrical, but I need some help with this simple switch. My plan was to switch nav lights, cab lights and possibly a bilge or livewell system. I will also wire my fishfinder and 12v outlets direct to battery. (with inline fuses) I got this switch from cabelas but can't...

I redid my transom (see "1974 14' Sears") and I want to know if I should use some sort of water sealant before I paint the transom with some exterior paint I picked up? I'll be putting some aluminum where the motor contacts the wood so there shouldn't be a problem with it scraping off, but what...

Alright, I posted som pics already under "boat talk", but here are some more. This is the beginning. I cleaned her out and will be working on patching the holes and building up the transom. Russ010 recommended Evercoat Aluminox Putty, which looks like my best option to repair the holes other...

I've been looking around for a while and decided to join. I have an old 14' Sears shallow V? Not sure exactly what year. Anyway I'll be posting pics once I get the thing cleaned out of all the junk and parts for mod. Quick question though, I bought this boat for a great deal, but one of...
