Hello everyone, I have a small 14ft boat that I recently put a nice deck on, sort of like a bass boat. Until lately, I have only used this boat on large private ponds. Now though, I want to rebuild it to make it better for public land hunting and fishing. In doing so, I thought I will do this the right way.
With the rebuild, I want to add:
-red/green nav light
-white anchor light
-small LED light bar for better lighting for decoys while hunting
-Depth finder
-bilge pump
-trolling motor
Without having 6 things on the single group 31 battery I have, is there a fuse block or switch panel option for wiring? I have no experience wiring though I am trying to find information from here and Youtube!....Also, I have an electrical engineer that I could ask this to, but that will be about 2 weeks before I see him. Do I need to consider waterproof housings for the fuses? (I would think so.. but again, idk).
Also, The main purpose of this boat is hunting, not fishing. As a result, I really don't care only having this one battery for everything as I don't fish at night much beyond motoring back to the launch, nor use a trolling motor often fishing. The boat will have the outboard for far travel, then trolling motor when I get in distance of birds or deer spots while hunting to keep noise down.
Any tips, help, or links are appreciated!
Also, is there a diagram that anyone can offer, with any necessary fuses and such too?
