[QUOTE="LFTDJEEP426, post: 202986, member: 4229"] I want to start wiring that little boat of mine and I thought I would ask you first if there is a particular wire I should use. I’ll have a deep cycle battery to power the trolling motor, navigation lights and I want to mount some fog lights I have up front. I also have a spot light mounted onto a hard hat that I’ll need power for. I’d like to make a few “outlets” where I can plug this stuff in almost. Well, I was thinking that it might be cool if I could use the same plug for the spot light and the trolling motor because….. there will be times that I will mount the trolling motor on the back or on the front and sometimes that I’ll want to use the spot light up front and in back. I was looking at these 2-wire plugs for trolling motors on-line but they are pretty pricey (about $12/plug and $40/outlet). Thought I’d get you guys thinking about it and see if you could come up with anything. One I’m not in a hurry and two it doesn’t have to be fancy either. Your thoughts?
