How To Wire A Boat | Beginners Guide With Diagrams | New Wire Marine

@Rbol121 - read the info at the how to wire a boat link... it explains all the things you are trying to understand nicely with a definition of every component and explains the function and generally includes a circuit diagram to help picture what is being done.

Lots of good info here... but most important... know your limitations. If you need help on it, get someone who knows how to do it to help you.

Good luck!

Thanks All for the information

Still havent got around to cleaning mine up. Maybe someday

I asked this on your youtube video has well, sorry, but:

Great video. I do have a question. On your 100 amp disconnect, you have power coming in from your winch solenoid. What is the other 6 ga wire connecting in at the same terminal? Also on the disconnect, what is the small 16 ga wire coming out of the terminal with the 6 ga wire going to your stinger? Thanks in advance!

at the disconnect, the wires coming in are from the second battery and from the winch. Instead of trying to get the winch power from the battery terminal im getting it from there.

Im trying to recall what i have the 16ga wire going to. I think its for my Radio which had an inline fuse and wanted constant power available to it

Nothing fancy as I was in a hurry to get it ready for big ride this weekend but it works. I will do complete rewire in winter including adding fuse block and switch panel.

Thank you my friend! You have a heck of a great setup!

Winch relay will be going to the right of the stock battery when I get it wired up.

Where are you getting the wires that go from stinger to relay? Prefab or did you make your own and if so, what gage?

I believe it was this wire from Amazon - 8 ga. You can probably find some cheaper, but I'd used this brand before and like how flexible it is.

So I’m an idiot when it comes to wiring. I have the second battery wired with isolator. Winch coming in after it then the stinger and on to the fuse block. All that works great. I’m trying to wire a boss radio and it say to connect the acc wire to a key on power source. What should I connect to? Yes I’ve read a ton of posts. Still having trouble finding a definite answer. Thanks

It looks as tho you have not finished wireing the stinger. Is that correct?

Assuming you plan to trigger it with a switch? If so. Any constant positive after the stinger will work as a replacement for that key-on wire.

Uness you really want it on a true key-on source. If so. Tie into the ACC (cig) scoket wire.

Ok. Let me know if that makes sense.

Ok i will try to explain how mine is wired run power to a three pole switch one will say accessories one will say power the other ground
Run power to the switch from ur second battery to the power on ur switch

Run ur fuse block to as the accessory on the switch this lets u control it and also what ever other accessories u may want to add later with out overloading the factory fuse block

Whatever ur accessories are will go directly to the fuse block and u can control the block as u want now keep in mind each accessory will need its own switch say like a light bar to control them separately this will also allow u to run things without the rig running

Hope this help im not much good at explaining

 

[Hondasxs]

You want the radio on when you flip the switch. Yes?

Wire it to anything after the stinger.
Ex. A low amp fuse maybe.

You are correct. I’m waiting on the switch to come in for the stinger. So after I install that the fuse block is a a key on Accessory correct? Switch comes in tomorrow so hopefully everything will be up and running

 

[Hondasxs]

Yes.
When they say "key-on" they just mean switched power. The key is the switch in that case.

I did the winch contactor control wire to true key-on. That's because I only want the winch to work when the machine is running. Winch main power still comes from the second battery.

This should be a pinned reference article. Excellent information. Thanks!
