Wiring Diagram

[Truckmechanic]

Well, I am about to start rewiring. I have came up with this roughs sketch of a wiring diagram. Please look it over and see if you notice any problems or suggestions.

Looks good - thanks

I see no problems with that setup. Looks good to me.

Looks good

But i would use no smaller than #8 for tm.
Look at the size wire on the tm ?You don't want to much smaller than it is if any because you are increasing the distance.
just my 2 cents. Other than that looks good

you don't "have" to.. it's suggested, but it's still going to work if you don't do it.

the trolling motor and fishfinder are what I would do... but then again, my fishfinders are the only things on my boat that has fuses

if you dont use fuse on other electronic,than dont need to use on FF and TM too. :twisted:

Everything will be fused. My switch panel is also a fuse panel. My trolling motor uses a 40 amp breaker( it actually calls for a 50 but all I could find when I installed it was a 40 and it has never kicked so I continue to run it) My FF will have a inline fuse. I just forgot to put them in my diagram. I am also going to have a 25 amp going to my switch panel.

it's all personal preference... but a $700 fishfinder & a $700 TM is harder to replace than a $5 light :mrgreen:
