    Switch panel Help

    I used a similar switch panel on my build. Here is the diagram that came with it. Search by my handle and you will find a thread that has my complete wiring diagram that might help too.

    parallel trolling motor/lights setup

    Just an FYI for anyone considering the parallel battery setup like I did. The first time out I went bowfishing in a cove off of Lake Erie. started at 10 pm and finished at 4 am, so 6 hours total with 6 headlights on and all the running lights too. used the TM constantly. got bogged down in weeds...

    finally gave up trying to figure this out myself and took the motor to a marina. here is a link to a video I took of how it looks now that it is running OK. hopefully someone can learn from it down the line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbGUDgxIUE0

    newbie 1st build: '76 Meyers SuperPro 14','73 25hp Evinrude

    I finally gave up trying to figure out the problems with the motor and took it to a marina. They fixed it up and it runs OK now. I've had the boat out a few times to test it out and I guess I have to call it "done"! though I'm sure I will continue to tinker with it. Everything is working great...

    Minn Kota trolling motor power center.

    I have one too and I am very please with it. I'm using it to protect 2 group 27's from walmart in parallel. It did the trick perfectly the first time out bowfishing. with all the lights on the trolling motor got bogged down in heavy weeds and that was enough to blow the breaker. all I had to do...

    getting closer. the framing, foam replacement, and decking are finished. so is the electrical system, check that out here: https://www.forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=43061 . I took it out on the water one time, pretty happy with everything, but the motor didn't run like it did in the...

    parallel trolling motor/lights setup

    Can I please get a thumbs-up/thumbs-down or any comments on this setup that I have put together based mostly on research here on this site. this is my first boat project and my first DC project, though I have done plenty of AC wiring over the yesrs. I have a '76 14' meyers superpro with a...

    I wanted to share the fish finder set up that I have McGyvered together. I bought this Lowrance a couple years ago and made this set-up portable so that I could take it on the family Canadian fly-in trip and use it on my float tube. I can mount the transducer on a piece of wood that clamps to...

    Finally ready to paint. I decided to tear my woodshop apart so that I could drag the boat inside to paint the interior (not gonna worry about the outside this year). I didn't think that I could get my 2 car garage warm enough, but it gets plenty warm in the shop. I spent the morning moving the...

    Only been able to work once every other weekend or so, but have made some progress. got the front bench cut out for 2 batteries. I plan to either run a single battery or 2 in parallel depending on how long i plan to be out, if i'll be out at night, etc. ordered this carpet off amazon...

    I took advantage of the 3 day MLK weekend to finish the framing and cut the decking. I wasn't sure how to approach the layout for the vertical pieces on the existing benches. I found some construction paper laying around and it worked very well to tape it to the bench and crease the paper to the...

    thanks for the tips, I was able to get the boat sealed and tested it in the garage, looks to have work, I will try and find someone local to weld the cracked ribs. finally had time today to work on the framing for the front casting deck and it seems to have come together well. I am going to...

    got the boat off the trailer and tried to patch some of the leaks with gluvit. having never worked with an epoxy like this i was surprised how much it ran down the side of the boat. I mixed it at the 5:1 ratio as stated on the can, and waited until a day when the temp was above 50. the epoxy ran...

    After a few trips out on the water I think i have a gameplan figured out, but still have a few unknowns... I plan to install a casting deck up front that will rest on the first two benches and overhang the second bench a bit. I dont want to remove any of the benches, but might have to cut into...

    finally got out on the water today, everything went well. the motor runs strong and the boat planed out at 20mph according to my depthfinder. Cabela's had the minn kota powerdrive on sale so i picked one up. I just have it attached to an old shelf clamped on the bow for now, i want to see how...
