[QUOTE="Robert48, post: 448219, member: 23401"] The wiring of the boat was also done in stages but here is a recap. The battery is a new 120 amp hour 12 volt. Anything larger would just add too much weight in the bow. I installed a Schumacher onboard charger/maintainer, 50 amp main breaker and a LED battery status indicator. I also ran power leads to both sides of the front seat for the trolling motor. The hood support is made with an aluminum pipe and a battery lug I had lying around. The anchor and rope reel box I was also able to make from stuff I already had. For the back I ran wire in a piece of conduit before I put down the floor. The power goes into the main battery cutoff switch and then to the power lead for the trolling motor and fish finder. I also installed another battery indicator light in the back outside the rear storage hatch for convenience. I still plan on installing USB charging ports in the rear hatch. [/QUOTE]
