Marine Auxiliary Switch Panel with dual battery setup

that looks really awesome

Nice

That sure looks nice.

bdech15, That is one SWEET switch panel! Best I have seen. Do you still have the name of the company that you got it from? If so can you post or send me a PM. Thanks, TandT

bdech15, Thanks!

Sweet setup...Was the switch a nice fit and can you tell me where you got the auxiliary battery mounting plate? Did you have to make it yourself?

Hi @bdech15. I recently bought this same switch, only in a 4 position. It looks like there may be clearance issues with the frame support behind the dash. Did you run into any problems, and if so how did you work around them?

Thanks for any info

Installed mine yesterday with no problem. I did put 2 layers of electrical tape on the frame behind the plate to insulate ii from shorting to the frame just in case

If you dont mind? What was the total cost???

Here is a link to Amazon where i got the switches from.

How did it work out??

I originally had a 6 switch panel with a volt meter, but decided to purchased the same exact 8 position switch panel. While there was some moderate compression of wires /lugs behind some of the switches and the middle frame support, it is easily remedied. I wrapped the frame support with electrical tape and carefully bent over some of the affected switch lugs /terminals hitting the support - all fit just fine and works great. I was amazed at how fast all 8 switches were used up (horn, left/right turn signal, winch, front flood lights roof, front floods bumper, interior lights, stereo, rear flood lights.) All I know is even my local dealer thought it looked factory and I get compliments all the time on how nice the switch panel looks. I bought mine on E-bay, but there are some listed Amazon as well; once I placed the order, it took about 7 to 10 days to arrive from China. There are two identical looking versions out there being sold; one of them uses actual auto type fuses and the other use resettable circuit breakers. I prefer the resettable breaker version that has mostly 5 Amp and a few 15 Aamp rated breakers installed and already wired to one of the switches. Some of the wire crimps were bad and needed to be redone, but for the price and the look it can't be beat.

All under 200.00?

My 8 switch panel was around $ 75 and then there was the cost of wiring to my other accessories (lights, winch, stereo etc). Even wiring every switch to all the my accessories, the cost was well under $200 for the switch panel, switches, breakers, connectors and all wiring.

Wow. well under the OEM of 299.00.

this may be an ignoramous question.. but.. did your setup come with wiring directions? or is this a 1 off creation of yours? I am interested in a switch panel like that vs the Honda version, but amnot near getting one yet..just trying to soak in ideas! thanks!!
