    Should be plenty of ah if I figured right. Point taken, deep cycle with enough ca to start my outboard ? Had no experience with a jump box, good point on the charging. Probably a good set of jumper cables would be adequate. Hopefully won’t need very often.

    EFB Batteries

    Thanks dingbat, but as I stated I only have room for a group 24 battery. The problem I am having is getting more battery time with my electronics running and charging and draining the battery.

    Sam I have got the wires run and just got the switch. I am taking a pic of the switch pins. They are positioned different than what your schematic shows. Do I mirror your drawing schematic or follow the pin numbers as you have them? Thanks Doc

    Add a Livewell Switch Again

    Sam after your reply I was looking for parts to have when I get to this job, can this be done with a 7pin switch? I see you are only using 7 of the 8 pins in your drawing and I can only seem to find 7 pin DPDT lighted switches. Thanks Doc
