Ok, so I hate to ask this since so much information is already on tinboats.net, but I guess the light bulb has not come on yet. I have an old Lowe 1448 boat that I have had for 10 years or more. Over the years I have gutted the inside with the exception of the back bench seat. Last year I built a nice large front deck on it and just carpeting the entire boat a few weeks back. My son is 4 and wants to go fishing more, so I had to make it suitable for him. Looks extremely nice now, but I need to wire it up correctly. I'm good with wood and metal, but not so much with wires. The attached set up is approximately what I want. I may add some small things, but this is roughly it. I've been running two batteries...one in the front and one in the back. But I only want to run one going forward (I think). I think the extra battery is just added weight for me. I want to run everything from a switch panel…except for the TM I think.
Can someone enlighten me on the following things:
1. What area busbars used for
2. What are terminal blocks used for
3. I believe I need to run my power wires for my accessories on the opposite side as my transducer cable for my FF....correct?
Any and all comments are welcome. Thanks!
