[EP9] Neat 12V Marine Wiring! How To Rewire Your Boat - Cruise Craft Galaxy 585XL

In this episode I rewire the front half of the Cruise Craft which has limited space behind the dashboard. I use a technique where I position the switches inside a protective junction box, and place the fuse box on top. I then terminate and waterproof all joins and make everything appear aesthetic.
My second series features the restoration of a Cruise Craft Galaxy 585 XL. The aim of this series is on high quality fibreglassing and boat repairs/restoration with a budget and DIY still in mind.

Hey mate can I ask what gauge wire used to power all your devices? And the gauge of all the earths

[@cheapthrillsgarage]

Combination of 10A and 15A rated wire depending on the draw of each accessory

Mate loved how you used a junction box to cover the precious side of the switch panel, I'm currently doing a similar rewire and will use this. How did you create a cutout in the back of the junction box? What tools did you use?

[@cheapthrillsgarage]

Drilled it in 4 corners and cut with a jig saw with the box separated into two.

[@Rubibi-saltwaterjim]

You could use a step drill to round out your corners and make sure you use a plastic jigsaw bit to do your cuts, draw your lines go full OCD.

Your terminals and crimpers are made by who? I have been looking for that style of crimp, and cannot find them. Can you provide a link?

[@cheapthrillsgarage]

Both are Narva brand www.narva.com.au/search?q=non+insulated

Hey mate where’d you get your wiring box kit from ?

[@cheapthrillsgarage]

Definitely was not a kit, the enclosure and junction box came from Jaycar, the rest was Red2Go.
