[QUOTE="SrPhatness, post: 124795, member: 2387"] Alright, Todays progress. Made templates for the front and back of the middle bench, then cut the panels out of the DryPly. Waiting to attach the panels until I get new Deep Cycle batts. That way I can determine the location of the bolts that will hold the panel on. Because they will run right between the bait-well and batteries to help hold them all in place. With any luck the new batteries will be short enough that I can put a hinged lid over the whole thing. Installed the transducer Then I did the wiring. 40 ft of 14ga red(+) and 40 ft of 14ga white(-). Used it all. Used crimp style butt connectors :), with a little electrical tape to seal from water. Ran all of the wires through 1/2" PEX tubing as conduit, which worked out pretty good I think. Used 4 swiches that I got at Wal-Mart. In this order stern to bow; 1*bilge pump*2*navigation lights*3*driving lights:mrgreen:*4*Wired and waiting for on-board lighting*. Install went well with very little problem. Everything worked, and I was very pleased with the days progress. (a full day) [/QUOTE]
