In this instructional video, we present a DIY project heavily influenced by the immensely popular Facebook group known as the "12 Volt Clean Wire Club," established by Dean and Nando of 5 Star Car Stereo, who are renowned for pioneering the clean wiring movement in the domains of automobiles, trucks, RVs, and boats.
Our focus in this video is the creation of an electrical center for boat accessories, including but not limited to bilge pumps, navigation lights, VHF radios, marine stereos, anchor and courtesy lights, fresh water pumps, horns, cabin lights, gauge and instrument lights, and more.
Furthermore, we demonstrate the process of replacing and refurbishing a boat's dash panel switches. This involves cutting into the fiberglass dash and retrofitting a custom-built switch panel. Notably, the horn is configured to a momentary style rocker switch, pre-labeled at the factory.
Key components utilized in this project encompass waterproof LED-illuminated rocker switches in blue, 40-amp relays, stainless steel terminal blocks, grounding busbars, and a central 12-way fuse block. The entire system is initiated by a 12V positive connection stemming from the battery isolator switch through a 14 AWG wire of sufficient gauge to actuate the primary marine-grade 40A power relay.
Each switch is meticulously labeled and individually connected to its corresponding fuse, with varying amperage ratings tailored to the specific accessory it controls. As a result, when a fuse blows, the corresponding LED switch ceases to indicate activity and remains non-functional until the blown fuse is examined and replaced. This methodology offers a distinct advantage over traditional switch panel wiring, where all switches draw from a shared 12V positive and negative source, making it challenging to identify a malfunctioning accessory or blown fuse due to the continuous illumination of the entire panel.
This video caters to individuals engaged in the maintenance and modification of various vehicles, including cars, boats, RVs, trucks, and even race cars. A well-organized and clean electrical wiring system is essential for every vehicle, and those who prioritize neat and tidy wiring practices will find this content particularly valuable.
