I removed the hr meter form the dash and have it located underneath the dash wire tied up out of the way, then moved the depth gauge to the hr meter location. Installed the remote at depth gauge location. (Pic shows hr meter still in it's original location)

Great question! I didn't want anything messing up the outer looks of the boat so it had to go somewhere on the inside. There won't be any room but the driver's side because of the cup holder/remote fabrication. And since the electrical outlet at my marina is on the driver's side, I opted to have it down low. It is also located about 1' from the power inverter just on the other side of the bulkhead wall. When anchored for extended times, I'll just run my cord from the shore power up and over the corner of my windshield to the generator on my front deck.

2) The tuna boat rod holders holding the U.S. Navy high pressure sodium search light cannisters probably won't affect the looks either. They look factory stock. 3)Thank God they swivel 360 degrees though. 4) Do you plan on having someone point them at other boaters while you are driving?... like a lazer beam? 5) Will that person make a laser beam sound when laser pointing the navy high pressure sodium search light canisters at other boaters? 6) I will paypal you $5 that when you get stopped/asked (and you will) that the first person asks you how/where you cut 2 tips off of a hippo penis to stick speakers/laser beams into? 7) Do you plan to run speaker wires to the penis tips? Or will those also be crocketted and look like a frayed ski rope dangling over the side of the boat like you are pulling a tuber? 7) There is no way that AC unit is going to stay fastened. I will also paypal you $5 on whether or not it falls out by the time you get it trailered home. 8) You should name your boat "swiss cheese" due to the amount of holes that are in it now. 9) I drew a picture of what I am imagining right now. 10) Good luck with the chop session... |

As basic as the install seems, marine shore power use does require a couple safety standards. 1 being use of a galvanic isolator, the other installing a grounding wire from the AC panel ground buss (green wire) to your engine block. There is a reason swimming in marinas is not recommended, possible electrocution do to boats w/o these safety features and electrical problems. Also helps keep your drives from being ate up. If you don't do this for yourself, do it for your neighbor. I don't see a GFI outlet, just a standard one ?? Also, are you reinstalling the closet, or is it being left out? The TV mounts make me think you are leaving it out. Just a little tid bit to keep everyone safe. |
