Fuse Box?

[Raymond]

Running lights are out again in my tunnel hull and I have decided to do it right when they are fixed. Have trolling motor,running lights,bilge pump and big motor going direct to the Battery. This not only looks like $hit but gets in the way. Is there anyway to mount a fuse box/panel on a boat this small and it be DONE? Plan to hardwire my front running lights very soon and want to do it right. Would not mind paying someone to take care of this if I can find a quality job.

I did a 14ft bateau a couple months ago. Academy sells terminal blocks & fuse panels for boats.

On my boat I have 6 gauge wire from my battery(under back deck) to terminal blocks(1 for power and 1 for ground)located under the console and everything from my running lights to bilge pump is controlled by my switch panel. It took some time but if you use wire looms and tie straps you'll get a good clean look

Thats what I am looking for a clean look, now it looks like a rats nest!

You can get the fuse box from Olmsted Shipyard cheaper than Academy and West Marine.

I'll come over one day during the week once you get the boat back at your house and we can make up a list. By the way dont forget to add oil to your gas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are looking to keep the wires "out of the way" and a little neater.....maybe some plastic tubing would help. This is how I wired my small Al boat and I have not had any problems.

Well.....one problem. I located the battery up front and found out I needed the weight farther back in the boat, so I had to re-wire it some.
