[QUOTE="Islander78, post: 465826, member: 24501"] So i started the electrical remodel on my boat. I went to my local Harbor Freight and lumber store and picked up some electrical components to help me, and also my local West Marine store for some accessories. Had an old friend donate some 14 gauge wire too. I know, not all marine grade, but this is my first go at it and its alot cheeper. After learning the basics, i jumped in head first. Running all my positives through the switches, then to my fuse block and all my negatives to a buss bar..wasn't as complicated as i imagined..found a new horn that i had to modify so it would fit into my old classic chrome horn. That took some doing but it worked, just need to wire it to a button now. Im also looking at buying a new radio n speakers since the ones i garbage picked aren't gunna cut it. Once i get all the wires ran im gunna wrapem n hidem. I also got a quart of Navy Blue topside paint, hopefully my painting skills are up to par. [/QUOTE]
