[QUOTE="DDudley, post: 429637, member: 22013"] I do love the way this boat is turning out. That schematic looks like an engineer drew it up. Nicely done! Although my knowledge of electrical is seriously limited, this layout was easy to read and makes sense to me. Planning the electrical on my boat has been the most challenging part of this project so far. I am opting to go with 2 batteries (1 dedicated for the trolling motor, and 1 for everything else). A couple of observations: I may have missed it, but I noticed you don't have any breakers or fuse blocks in the schematic. Are you planning to include any to protect your equipment in the event something happens? For example, I am planning on installing a 50 Amp circuit breaker 8" from the battery in-line with the trolling motor. And, a fuse block w/ negative bus from in between the battery and the switch panel on the other system. Also, are you using the same gauge wire throughout the system? [/QUOTE]
