Default Re: First boat - returning to NJ.com

Frank.

I was thinking of trying the same sort of thing. Use the PVC to snake under the floor to the front of the boat where the battery will be. It's a big battery and the trolling motor is up there so that is where it will likely have to stay. Run the connections from the battery to the back of the boat. Still trying to figure out what gauge wire to use. Probably 10-12 outdoor wire.

Then open a small hole in the floor just in front and to the side of the back seat. Run the pvc though it and into a box. Buy a 5 switch panel and connect everything inside the box. Seal every hole with epoxy. That is the path I am on right now.

It all depends on being able to snake the pvc to the front of the boat.
