Are you doing a dual battery install?

Are you doing a dual battery install?

No, not right now anyway.if I do go with dual in the future , I will need to buy a new switch !!

Looks like you're doing it right. I need to do this too, I can't fit one more wire on my battery!

Ya mine is filling up also , there just isn't much room inside the battery box. I want to add a light bar ,so I figured now is the time for me to do this !!!

Is there any reason why I shouldn't get my power for the switch and fuse block , from the winch contactor ?

 

[Tflynn]

I thought of that too. Can't really see why you couldn't

 

[Tflynn]

I used winch contact for the hot on my light bar

I suppose you could piggy back off of it, but why wouldn't you get supply from your Blue Sea box, and be properly fused?

The main power needs to go to the switch and then to the fuse block, so I would just come off the contactor ,to switch then t0 the fuse block !!!

This is how I will be wiring it !!

That's is what I am going to do with mine. The only other thing I would add is a breaker or fuse from the disconnect to the fuse panel. Looks like alot of guys are using the Bussman Breakers between 60-80 amps. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion! !!

I have 100Amp circuit breakers on the 6 gauge + wires.

 

[Chooglin]

I have everything mounted and hooked up , now all I need to do is add a breaker !!!

This is going to make it so much easier to add accessories.............no more running wires back to the battery !!!

 

[Montecresto]

if it looks like this when you're done, it will all work.

Nice and neat.. I like that you put the voltmeter and switch under the hood! You want to come do mine?

That looks very nice. Very clean. So I'm guessing this question answers itself, but the switch is just so nothing draws when machine is off in place of keyed power right? Since it looks to be directly from the battery?

Exactly! !

Haha, negative. Btw, the voltmeter is in the dash, the battery switch is under the hood. I have dual batteries.
