[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 82753, member: 412"] Were that my project, every wire and every hose would be new before I started buttoning things back up. Additionally, I'd have extra leads run from battery to helm up each side (so that you can isolate a marine band radio power source from everything else in order to decrease the risk of feedback through the fish-finders when you key the mic), from battery to bow, and from helm to bow. Wire is relatively cheap and very easy to string with everything out of your way. Some PVC tubes would be a good idea as well, it'd protect the wires and make it that much easier to string extras should the need ever arise. I'd run 6-8Ga wire from the battery to the helm into a fuse block and wire in a master power switch. That'd eliminate all of your in-line fuses that will inevitably be buried somewhere once you begin re-assembly. It would also reduce the chances of forgetting about and leaving on a pump, fish finder, or lights and draining your battery. I'd build a cooler into the floor as well, even if it cost me a little storage space, it's mighty nice not having to step over/under/around a cooler all day. [/QUOTE]
