[QUOTE="Tman, post: 429650, member: 22066"] Dudley, I am an engineer actually, good catch! I have a group 27 deep cycle that i believe is rated for 100ah @ 20 hours so 5 amps an hour can be drawn from it. all of my lights are LED and the only time everything will be used is at night time trolling. the radio specs say 1.1 amp draw but it should be less than that as normal listening volumes unless I'm looking to make friends on the water 8) My gang switches have included 20 amp fuses for each circuit. which is way more than what each will be required. my fish finder has an inline fuse i need to install. radio has a built in fuse. so the only one i would possibly think i would need one for is for the trolling motor, but i don't believe ill use one since its a cheapy anyway. anything else i may add would have an inline fuse if it doesn't go through the extra switches i have. you do have me thinking about maybe adding 1 master right off the battery just in case i guess.. question, does anyone know the best way to connect large wire gauges to one another? like 12, 10 or 8 gauge?
