I posted here a few weeks ago about my new "tank", a North River
aluminum fishing boat. It's been too cold to go fishing, but finally
warm enough to get the boat rigged as I want it.

I've been busy wiring the VHF, XM, am/fm, fishfinder, etc in my new
North River. I'm using the same set up I had on the Klamath, and it
may be of some interest to anyone doing similar jobs.

As strange as it sounds, I used a small, lockable kitchen storage bowl
as my "vault" for the subpanel (really!) and it works great and is
very cheap - especially if you "liberate" it from wifey's cupboard as
I did. I have all the circuits on one fuse panel near the helm, with
just one hot and one ground wire running back to the batteries at the
transom. It's very simple and convenient.

I have to wrap and route the wires to and from the electronics yet,
but am nearing completion of all these electronics projects.

Maybe photos would make this more understandable. I posted some photos
of this strange project on my homepage www.FishWisher.com
