Took the old Ox panel and added all new switches and breakers. I did pay $140 for a new Blue Seas panel and the switch froze, I called them last year they sent me a new switch, after the winter I had 5 switches junk and all breakers junk!! I am in a battle with them now, But I got all new switches and breakers cheap from else were.

Nice work Guys!!...I've been camped out in mine doin the same thing...I LMAO at that old wire bundle cause I got one just like it!!...jerked it ALL OUT!!...already been thru one stick of 1/4" heat-shrink and about to cut into a second...oh well...the sto's got mo!!...LOL!!...

Hopefully my Blue Seas Glass Fuse Block will last a little longer than your switches...thanks for the heads up...

Is that orange wire on left w/in-line fuse Bennet trim tabs?...looks like mine...

Great set-up, MJ & Tim!!...:clap:

If you look at the 5th pic the trim tab switch is tyhere, and yes they have a inline fuse. BS put a 15 in it and we blew it at sea the other day, But I had more on board and replaced with a 30 now no more issues.

I have a Blue Seas fuse panel in the electronics box for the Radar, and Spreader lights, hope that stays well?
I have to get a few more pics also to post.

I also did not go the heat shrink root because in my eyes its just another way to let moister in and then it has a hard time drying. I used Liquid Electric Tape instead, I put 2 coats on all and that seals it all tight.
Thats just my way, I am sure you be fine.

You are right about heat shrink...it leaves gaps, particularly at the ring...won't close down tight...I don't wanna change in mid-stream...and the HS is a step up from what I did in the 74...crimp and go there...and in 11 years never had a failure...but then she didn't see as much salty stuff as you guys do up there...that sh!t's ROUGH on stuff!!...:bat:

The temp gague malfunctioned the other day while out running the river. After jiggling the wires,..it works.
