    Wiring on a 1997 228G

    Wiring Very nice job John and clean looking. In the construction trade I deal with a lot of generators and electric pumps for dewatering. Also we make a lot of extension cords. If it wasn't for the electrical grease that I use the plugs on cords would be rusted with in six months. I use...

    Wiring on a 1997 228G

    Electrical Grease I am very surprised that no one has mentioned anything about any kind of electrical grease. Personally I am a big fan of De-ox brand grease. I have proved it at work against corrosion and rusting. Does anyone have any comments on this or is there any in the marine bible.

    Both of my batteries are the same, I have always just run on both batteries. I have no Idea as to what you are talking about as a 24 hour deal. I am not sure what the specs are on the riggers but they do have circuit breakers on the motors. I don't have a clue where the bilge is wired. Yes my...

    Gee Wiz Jimmy, are you going to let me down and not tell what you would do. I just came from the barn and checked out the wires that I was concerned with. Two go to Big Jon down riggers, one goes to a Lowrance fish finder that is mounted on the track with my down riggers and the other I think...

    Wiring on a 1997 228G

    What do you mean how do I charge my batteries. My boat motor charges them when I am running or my trolling motor when I am trolling. I have a two battery system from the factory and I have always ran both batteries at the same time. Should I be alternating batteries say like every other week. I...

    Jimmy, what do you think about the Blue Seas fuse box deal. I don't boat in the salt water nor do I ever think that I will. My other question is I know I will pull my positive from my battery selector switch but where do I catch a common ground. Do I run a ground wire from each of my batteries...

    Wiring on a 1997 228G

    I have accumulated numerous smaller gage wires like 16 ga. or less that need to be hooked to one or the other batteries. I would like to put these wires on some kind of a terminal strip and run a hot wire from my batterie selector switch to power them. This way when my switch is off I will know...
