[QUOTE="Alex_c, post: 313983, member: 9587"] I'm adding a stereo, lights, a bilge pump and a finder to my boat. I have a 3-way switch panel that I want to put the lights and pump on a switch for sure, but I am unsure if the stereo and finder need their own switches or not. I was thinking of using the 3rd switch as a main fused battery switch if possible and using the built in switches on the stereo and finder when needed. I do want to prevent power from going to the stereo/finder when not in use in case something gets wet and potentially shorts. Is it ok to use one of the switches as a main power switch, ie: would it be able to handle the current from the stereo, lights, finder and pump if used all at the same time. I also want to wire a swich for a kill for the motor. I had one on the previous layout so I know how it works, but I'll have to wire up a small panel for it anyway. [/QUOTE]
