What's up gents... So I have created work for myself (again) in the wiring department of my old trusty War Pig. The wiring has been an ongoing battle since I first tore this old boat down and repainted and re decked it. That part I did very well, but what I did not do and now regret is to start at zero with the wiring and make it all nice and pretty. The accessories that I have are as follows:
Bilge pump
Aerator pump
Nav lights
Fishfinder
Trolling motor
(2) interior courtesy lights
Right now, everything is a spider web. My boat has paneling on the sides, so I can't get to the battery wires that run from the rear (cranking battery) to the front, but they ARE in place and carrying current. Also at the bow that need power are a courtesy light, the front nav light, and a power receptacle for the old trolling motor which was rigged to plug in. Attached to that same receptacle right now are the courtesy and nav light, each with their own toggle. Having just purchased and mounted a new trolling motor, I need to effectively wire that in to the deep cycle battery. With my current set up the deep cycle needs to sit in the stern...
A while back I purchased a Sierra Fuse block with 10 ports, and had considered running all the accessories off of that, but my limited electrical knowledge has kept me from installing it... SO here it is a couple of weeks from fishing time and I am not ready. Any suggestions? If so, please include some detailed photos because just sending me a paragraph of explanation will not help. I need pictures
Thanks in advance for anyone patient enough to help me with this...
