So i ordered myself the 6 way fuse box and 5 swtich panel that I referred back to on a previous post
https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=27168.
They finally came this past week, and I think I have the wiring part figured out. Like I suspected, the fuse box does have a negative bus bar! This will make wiring a whole lot easier.
But now I am pondering where to put physically mount these things.
The boat is tiller control, so no dash board to mount these on/under. For the fuse box itself, I am planning on mounting it on the port side under the rear bench, where the battery and gas tank currently reside. I am trying to figure out where to put the switch panel.
The back bench is "C" shaped, with the legs of the C facing the stern of the boat. I am contemplating mounting there, flat on the bench, or the more ambitious project would be to build an angled panel from the bench up to the side, similar to how new boats have them.
Has anyone built one for their boat? Or are there prebuilt one available? If you have pictures, please post them!
When I have a final plan and start rewiring, I'll post pictures here of that.
Thanks!
Peter
