Getting real close to splash

So today I used 5200 to glue down the 2 bilge pumps and ran the wires for the 2 pumps, the live well and lights. Also when I ran the wires and cables from the console to the engine I forgot about the wires connection for the command link , it was a royal pain to do and in the 90+++ heat today it was a bitch.

On a good note when I was finished I decided to hit the key to start the engine and much to my delight it starts right up and surprised me.

Well tomorrow's another day to get a few more things done....it's getting closer

Glad to hear it will be finished soon!

Pumped out about 20 gallons of pre-mix gas out of the tank in preparation for the Rec90 I will be using. I ran it through one of those filters that separate out water and debris out of the gas. It looked very clean so I put some in my truck.

Received some goodies today to work on the electrical and some Yamaha connectors for the command link.

Here's what I plan on doing as far of the electrical

I highly recommend an ACR.

Looks like a solid beginning point Jorge. In addition to acr between bats. I’d suggest putting mega fuses on each battery positive lead. Breakers if you wish but megas will provide protection in the unlikely event something happens on that length of cable.

I can't recall the rule, but I think a fuse to protect the wire within 7" of the battery is required. (AYBC?) At least from an insurance perspective. I have never blown one while cranking, and mine are 175 A.

When you say ACR, I presume this is the auto charging relay. I've never used one of these so I don't know the purpose. I think it routes the battery charger through the switch. In the past I have just hooked up a 2-bank charger directly to the batteries.
Can you please let me know the advantage of the ACR?
