My dad went & bought a 1992 Weld-craft 1436, came with trailer, trolling motor, great shape. He got it for $450. At 80 years young, he really doesn't need it but he wanted it. Wish he'd told me he wanted to go fishing...he can use mine any time he wants. But you know how it is...can't tell some people anything.
Anyway...they didn't wire anything. PO kept a battery up front and had no outboard, just a trolling motor. Dad wants an electric start outboard and being that it's a little boat, he needs to make the best use of what little space he has in that small boat. I have to run a pair of 8 ga wires from the bow to stern where the battery will reside. He doesn't want any running lights. I may splice in a 12v accessory to charge a cellphone but that'd be about it, and that will go in with the trolling motor bracket at the bow.
How do you guys run the wires in a plain-jane boat? No floor, no wiring channel to "hide" them in.
