Aloha, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally getting around to tidying up my electronics. A pelican 1050 case fits thru the 6 inch hatch and makes a good waterproof fuse terminal case. I will be using a 15ah 12v battery at first and have installed the optional charging circuit to my Nissan outboard motor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If battery capacity isn’t enough I’ll add a second battery. I was going to go with lithium batteries but I cant confirm that I could safely\/successfully charge with the outboard’s 12vdc 5amp circuit, so I went with lead acid agm instead. The battery is fused at 20 amps and each circuit is appropriately fused as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am adding fully sealed momentary toggles right in front of the seat which is tucked away under my legs, and am putting two small bilge pumps in the back so I can easily pump on the go in rough water or while washing down afterwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m looking at adding a USB charger and red\/white mini LED’s to light up the hulls for loading\/launching early in the mornings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m pretty happy with the layout and will finish wiring it up this weekend, I intend to go fishing this Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
