I know this has been talked about a hundred times and I have read them all but my small brain can't organize this. My situation is that I have a starting battery for my 1980 25hp evinrude O/B and I want to add a switch panel to control nav lights, a light bar, interior strip lights, and a trolling motor. If I purchase this switch
Mod EDIT
It says it has fuses with it, so do need to purchase this fuse panel
Mod EDIT
Do I need to purchase another battery to operate this or run it all from the O/B starting battery? How should I set up the trolling motor to the switch or should I just get another battery to directly run to the trolling motor? Also what gauge wires should I use for each one of these accessories? The company says the fuses are: The max amp is 15A for the USB and 2 switches and also 15A for the power socket and the other 2 switches. Is that sufficient? Can I run bow and all around lights to one switch?
This Light Bar I was looking at is:
Mod EDIT
Not sure what wires need to go where. Just unsure of this all and want to do it right. I am in the Coast Guard and sadly I don't have these skills (willing to accept trash talk), so thanks for helping a rookie out.
