I recently tore into my rigging tube to replace my steering cable which was almost locked up. <br /><br />While I as at it, I decided to pull all of my old fuel line out and replace it as well.<br /><br />Once I did that, I noticed that the only ugly/old looking stuff remaining was all of my electrical wiring. So, why not replace it as well?<br /><br />I went ahead and pulled out the seperately loomed harness from the engine. It is still in great shape with water tight connections to the gauges and binnacle mount controls/ignition. So, I put that aside.<br /><br />When I got into my accessories wiring, I couldn't figure out why I had so many wires. Currently, my boat has the following accessories:<br /><br />-Red/Green Bow Nav lights (seperate)<br />-rear Whie pole light<br />-Bilge Pump<br />-Depth Finder<br /><br />I must've had 30 seperate wires running through my boat due to the previous owner having trouble and pulling a new wire, then leaving the old one in there. Needless to say, I pulled out any of the wires that weren't being used. Here's what I ended up with:<br /><br />
<br /><br />With all of the loose-ended wires out of my way, I labeled the necessary wires to run my accessories. I then took them all out and plan to replace them anyway.<br /><br />After I had all of the wiring out of the boat, I went ahead and pulled the Fuse Block out of the boat. Should I clean this up and re-use it, or should I just replace it?:<br />
<br /><br />I'm leaning towards replacing it. With that said, here's where part recommendation comes into play.<br /><br />I searched through the mega-mall, and didn't come up with anything that looked quite like it. Any recommendations?<br /><br />Also, my wires are travelling about 15ft. What size wire and fuse should I use for the following objects?<br /><br />-Nav Lights<br />-Bilge Pump<br />-Baitwell Pump (plan to add this)<br />-LED Deck Lights (plan to add these)<br />-Depth Finder<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br /><br />Shawn
