I am going to re-wire the 16'er tonight..All easy access. The old wires in it i just dont trust..I have a couple of questions. I will be buying a 4 panel rocker switch. Firstly..I will be using the starting batt. Just for starting. The other..A deep cycle i would like to have run 2 lights, horn, and bilge. I also will have a small radio, and trolling motor in it, but those can be run direct i believe. So..I think i need to run the pos. and neg. from the battery to the front where i will be installing the panel. Then..can i jump the negs from the switches all together?..I think yes.. but checking. then it's running the pos and negs from the lights and horn up to the individual switches. Do i ground to the boat itself somewhere in this configuration as well? And..any suggestions as to what guage wire i should use for a 16 foot run to the panel, and where should the inline fuse be?.. Towards the batt.. or panel. ?
