someone has asked me about wiring so I'm adding this diagram to this thread to keep things in one place.


Again, always use marine grade tinned wire. Trailer wire is not marine grade wire.

I suggest a minimum of 8 gauge to make a home run from dash to battery(at the transom). This will feed all lights,horn,vhf,FF/gps, manual bilge and a wiper(i don't have one) and an accessory where you can plug in a spotlight.
You want these wires to be just the right length, not tight but not looped up either.

I strongly suggest a 30A main fuse on this feed using a battery terminal fuse block. it is dangerous not to...
