Homemade switch/fuse box for a jon boat

[G Lap]

I have got a lot of good ideas from this site, so I wanted to post a couple pics of my home-made switch and fuse box in case it helps anyone. I used an Otterbox, and mounted a piece of plexiglass in it. On the plexiglass, I mounted a fuse block and my switches. I sanded one side of the plexi with a fine sandpaper, then painted the back of it. I mounted it on one of the back corner braces of my jon boat, right next to my depth finder. I ran my wires for the front light, interior lights, and livewell inside 1/2" CPVC that is tucked behind the rib on the side of the boat from the back corner of the boat, all the way to the front deck. This size CPVC fit perfectly in this rib.

I posted pics of my whole boat on the "Post a Pic of your Boat" thread in the boat house. Should be at the very end.

Def thanks for the idea, super clean, protected and far easier to reach than the arm twistin, back bendin, leg stretchin, head bangin attempts to replace a fuse under the console!

I work way too slow to ever make a profit on anything I make. Have fun doing it though.
