Default Re: Spring Project(s) 74 20SF

Blue197320 - came from Ebay $125 + $7.99 shipping I shopped around for a while and this was the best price I found. Bought it on a Tuesday and received it Thursday night ground from Fl to Va.

Tucker - I miss labeled that, only have 1 bilge pump, its float switch will be wired to a battery. I have my electronics wired to the switch so that when I leave my boat I can just turn the batteries off and not worry about a stray draw. Ran them like that before and never saw a problem with interference but thanks for the info!

makade - I think I might do that, Instead of getting a On-Off-Momentary switch for the pump I'll get an On-Off-On and then wire the float switch to the bottom with a direct connect to the battery from there. That way like you said when its sitting in my driveway I can just turn it to off and let the water drain through transom vs chancing the pump turning on. I always check it after a big rain anyways.

BigLew - thanks for the input/positive comments!

saltyfish7 - That's one of the cleanest wiring jobs I've seen! That's what I'm hoping to end up with, something as clean as that. I already have the rocker switch so it will have to do, hopefully it lasts, was damn expensive. Charger sounds like a good investment, will look into that.

Got my 21' of LED rope for under the gunwhale.
