This is a 2005 Express 1756SC. As it sits in the water, it has 3 group 29 batteries in the stern. It is stern heavy, as you can see, especially when my buddy in the back is always heavier than me. I was thinking about moving the two trolling motor batteries to the front compartment. I could tuck one under the deck to the left and to the right of the hatch under the aft part of the front deck.
Good idea or no?
This boat is wired with all the typical stuff...aerator, bilge pumps, nav lights, horn, headlights, depthfinders, 12 v outlets, and all that. It was wired at the dealer, all wired to the batteries with inline fuses but NO fuse block or fuse box. It is a disaster under the console.
Moving the batteries would make me want to and need to rewire everthing. Can you point me to a good design of fuse box or fuse block that I can install to clean up all the wiring? I was thinking of one block under the console for the electronics run from the starting battery, and two up front 12V each for everything else. I run lights at night and power them from the trolling motor batteries. Don't these blocks have one heavier wire going in and all the smaller circuits running out of the box?
thanks, Joe
