Re: 1968 15' Starcraft Jet Star Rebuild
A.M. progress...
I worked on the bow casting deck hatch cover. Sanded down and cout out for the latch. Didn't bother with photos, still needs to be painted up.
So I was eyeballing my dash and mulling on the setup. Now, I know I said I was going bare bones on this rig, keeping things as minimal as possible. Well, I have already backpedaled on installing nav lights (vs. the cheapo batt powered clamp on ones). I was fully planning on just installing basic push/pull switches for the nav lights and bilge pump. I was also just going to go with a basic air horn too. But, then I remembered I snatched a switch panel off eBay a really long time ago (I think I bought for like $20). So, I rifled through one of my boxes - check it out...
Super cool! You can see that these switches have the
lighted tip to em
These were actually custom built for late model Starcrafts (prolly a Superfisherman or what have you). I have no interest in the carbon fiber plate so I'll just be using the switches.
So, I have 4 switches plus the horn there. I'll go with
NAV, BILGE, INTERIOR LIGHTS and the fourth switch I believe I should be able to just switch the power over to a
12V PLUG.
Yup, not so bare bones now I suppose:redface:
You can see they are all pre-wired up with plugs on the ends for whatever model boat they were putting it in...
I believe I could just clip those off and chase down the appropriate wires for each switch.
That may take me a little while to figure all that out, but, it'll be worth it
