When I realized
I needed a motor for emergencies I decided to add a complete electrical
system to power the trolling motor I got. It has been suggested that
more weight in the forpeak can make the boat ride a bit better, so I decided
to put the battery up there. |
 |
A switch box was added in the cabin to
have a master switch for the battery and control the cabin lights, and
running lights. This box will allow for quite a bit of expansion. I found
that I needed about 40 amps for the trolling motor and could not easily
get fuses this size. I installed a 40 amp circuit breaker above the switch
box. |
 |
The motor mount is removable and holds
the motor in a fairly decent place for use. Unfortunately the boom crutch
stops some movement and the motor head when in this position fouls the
main sheet line a bit more than I would like. The electrical plug is pretty
well out of the way. |
