I’ve got an older boat that has had some Fred-in-the-shed wiring done for the non-essential electronics wiring (cd player/radio, bilge pump, cig. lighter, nav. lights, graph, on-board charger, etc.) and I’m hoping to organize and protect the wiring better. Right now there are four wires landed on both the pos. and neg. sides of the cranking battery. In the first picture, the cranking batt. is a white rectangle. The blue lines are pairs of wires. The yellow line is the power connection from a deep cycle battery to the trolling motor, and the white line represents the foot pedal cable where I typically run it when fishing. When I’m running the trolling motor from here, I can’t use the radio or graph (mainly graph) because of an intense amount of interference. The green circled area is kind of a mess of wires with splices here and there...ugly stuff. My next post will be my proposed possible solution. Graph is on the left.

This is my proposed solution. The small box on the bottom right is a fuse block. The small rectangle under the steering wheel is a switch panel. Will rewiring like this help to keep induced noise down? I know it will help to remove a couple of wires from the battery connection.

This is supposed to be the second picture, also showing the charger hookup:
