I'm wiring up my 16' Lund, and I need some help.
First off, where in the Lower Mainland, can I find marine wiring supplies? 6 gauge wire, 10 gauge wire, connectors, ATC fuses, Blue Sea fuse block, etc?
And what are your thoughts on 10 gauge wire for down riggers? The plugs will be about four feet from the fuse block, so an 8 foot round trip.
The fuse block will be hooked up to the battery with 6 gauge wire, and will be mounted less than a foot from the battery.
Thinking about just a plain-jane flooded 27 group deep cycle battery. It's only for two Scotty DRs and a fishfinder/chartplotter unit.
The motor, a 30 HP E-tec, is a rope start not electric start, but I have the charging kit for it, so the alternator will be charging up the battery.
Thoughts?
