Hey folks.
Brand new to the site and I am hoping for a little assistance. Last summer I was fortunate enough to be able to get a great deal on my very first boat - a 14 ft Lund SSV- and although it has no bells or whistles I have enjoyed every minute on it. I am now slowly starting to add some toys, with the first being a fishfinder I was given for Christmas and eventually I am planning to install a bilge pump and some nav lights.
I have very limited experience with electrical circuits, but have done some research and came up with the attached diagram and would very much appreciate any advice.
I do have a couple of questions to add:
1. Would anyone recommend a battery switch for such a simple system?
2. Do I have the right sized fuse connected next to the battery?
3. What guage wire is recommended for each connection?
I would like to keep it as simple as possible, and since my outboard is a manual start I don't need to include it in the equation at all. When I can finally get a trolling motor, I plan on having its own dedicated battery.
Thanks, and I'm looking forward to your input.
