[QUOTE="rellis1962, post: 158328, member: 2519"] Thought I would post some progress on the electrical. Got all the wire ran and most of the electrical components in place and in most cases installed. Running the wire was fun :roll: My son and I worked on it most of the day yesterday and part of the day today to get it to this point. All of the spade clips that are involved with the trolling motor or connecting the batteries were crimped, soldered and shrink wrapped. I used #4 wire for all trolling motor/battery connections. #10 wire was used for power and ground running to the bus blocks. Clips were also soldered. All connections to electrical components were also soldered and shrink wrapped. #16 wire was used for most electrical with the exception of the accessory plug and bilge pump, #14 was used on those. All wire is tinned marine wire. This week's evenings will be spent connecting everything to the console switch panel, connecting AM/FM/Ipod Radio and VHF Radio. Yes I am going to install a VHF only because I happen to have one that I bought 9 years ago and never took it out of the box and I will be taking the boat out in Galveston Bay at times.[ATTACH type="full" alt="wireclip1.jpg"]16628._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="Breaker.jpg"]16630._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="Navlight.jpg"]16632._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="wirebundle2.jpg"]16629._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="PosandGrndblock.jpg"]16631._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
