[QUOTE="Frankenfish, post: 481281, member: 25701"] Hi everyone, I had a quick question. I wired my boat up as below: Battery+ :arrow: Master Switch :arrow: Fuse :arrow: Device Switchboard :arrow: Device :arrow: Battery- Last night, I was testing things out and noted that if I turned off the master switch, then flicked one of the device switches, I would get a short flash out of the device (in this case a small LED light strip). Is this normal to have a small amount of current stored in the wire after turning off the positive from the battery? My outboard is in this same circuit (not running) so is it supplying the short charge? If there were a capacitor, I suppose it could supply a charge even after the positive from the battery was cut off? Thanks in advance for any advice! [/QUOTE]
