Rigging my new Alweld 1756VV Marsh model Center Console tin boat! QUESTION:
There is a conduit (looks like 3/4 or 1 inch size) in the right (starboard) bow gunwale area behind the TM socket plate. The wires for the trolling motor, nav light, and accessory socket go into this conduit.
WHERE does this conduit go, I mean where is the other end? I don't see it under the console or in the transom area.
In the stern engine area under the rear lid, there are two big conduits on the floor, one left side of keel and one right side, that look like they come up under the console console, with most of the wiring and engine control cables snaked through there. I do not see where the smaller conduit ends up.The stock TM power wires end up in the transom area bundled in one of the looms going thru a big conduit to the center console. This wire pair is unconnected, with a 50A thermal breaker on the hot wire, for the user to hook up if they want.
I am trying to re-route the trolling motor power wires from the bow TM socket to the front storage locker, where I am installing two group 31 batteries for my 24V MK Terrova i-Pilot TM. There is no conduit from there to the front storage, so I somehow have to fish the TM power wires from the locker to the TM socket in the bow. Ideally I would fish some flex conduit thru there, so the TM wires are not physically sharing a conduit with any accessories. This will give me a short wire run from TM batteries to the TM, independent or the accessories, for best noise isolation (trolling motors are EMI generators, what with the PWM and the brushes making noise). Then I can install my 2-bank charger in the locker to recharge the TM batteries.
All accessories and everything else like engine, lights, sonar, bilge, live well, will be powered by the main battery in the transom.
Thanks, and a Merry Christmas to all.
