So everything is finished up for the time being. I got all my lighting in, and looking at it now, I'm going to order another string of red LED's for the other side. Taken her out on the water with just the trolling motor a couple times this week, once alone, once with a buddy of mine. She did...

Pond prowler is the way to go. I have the 8' version, and made a little deck for the front that my tacklebox slides under on one side, and has a small hatch that I usually put my cooler bag into on the other. It's stable enough for me and my buddy to fish from no problem. Light enough that I can...

So I pretty much finished the boat tonight. I'm still waiting on getting my anchor/nav lights, deck lights, and my 12v outlet to get here, but tracking info says it all should be here tomorrow. Next up is the back deck area. I didn't even draw anything up, I just kind of started with the 2x4...

So the jumpers worked, and this is what it's looking like. I have the bilge pump, stern light, and fish finder wired up and functional, and my anchor/nav light, LED deck lighting, and 12 v outlet should be here on Monday. Once I get that stuff wired up, she'll be all done, and I'll be a...

So where was I? Ah yes, framing the deck. Again, I'm not a heavy guy, and neither is anyone that I'll be fishing with, so I'm not worried about the weight of the wood. When it comes time to really do one of these right, I'm going to go the aluminum framing route, but that's projecting way into...

Thanks! If I end up going that route instead of getting a new one, would I leave the Neg 10 AWG from the battery where it is, and then add jumpers from post 1 to 2 on top of the 10AWG, 2 to 3, ect? I wasn't sure if that was the right type of bus bar when I got it, part of the reason I asked. I...

This is what I was talking about when I said monsters are in the small waters! The lake behind my house is probably about 5 acres, and this 16.5 inch speck hit a chatterbait just before dark. I really wasn't expecting that! :D

So a couple weeks ago, I picked up this fishmaster 1432 with trailer, titles for both, for $500. The guy threw in the crap trolling motor and battery he had and some life vests and emergency oars too. First order of business was get the trailer lights working, as the ones that were on it...

Ok guys, so I got my switch panel and wire in... It's the Seasense model I've got linked above. It says on the packaging that it's 7 amps per circuit, but the fuses in it are 10. Go figure. I already switched out the fish finder and bilge pump fuses to the right ones (1 and 3 amps...

Good to know guys, thanks! Wire and some other goodies should be here tomorrow or Friday, so I'll be wiring this weekend.

My hope is that my diagram is correct, and can simplify the process for the next guy after me. I plan on using 4 for the trolling motor once I get an outboard and have to move it up to the bow. From what I can figure, that will be more than what's needed, but I'm ok with that. All the smaller...

At least how I've got it figured now, no switch. I'm going to basically have 2 separate systems, but if I could figure out what having everything connected and on a switch would entail, and what benefits that would provide, I'd definitely consider it. As far as capability for adding electric...

I know I'm probably beating an already dead horse further to death, but I work a lot and don't have a whole lot of time to browse this forum. If you're one of the seasoned vets I know are here, your knowledge and time would be greatly appreciated by this first time builder. Ok, so I'm doing a...
