Rob Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Well, all this helping on JV has made me neglect JoJo. Serviced a few weeks ago before the "Turbo Time" on the Shambles and I also had fitted a water separator due to these rumours of water in fuel due to ethanol content. It was the ideal time as the bulb on the fuel line was failing. New rod holders too on the stern: I had been planning a rewire for a while and measured this and that and bought the bits. Was going to make a loom then install, but I am now just getting in with it! Cutting the old: Remove underseat fuse box: charlieannear 1 Quote
Rob Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Posted April 27, 2015 I am splitting the power distribution, with one fuse box under the centre console and the keeping the other under seat one. New: Nice thing about this is that when a fuse blows, the led next to it illuminates!!! niggle, Mal Thomas, Stuie and 1 other 4 Quote
Sam Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 I have a similar setup on my motorbike under the seat, a real timesaver in a breakdown, as similar to being afloat very vulnerable when a something fails on a bike surprised these are not more popular Quote
charlieannear Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 Amazingly it's nearly 10 years since I got Star Turn, and Adam's photos are inspiring me too! I like the look of the fuse box- neat and waterproof? Quote
Rob Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Posted April 28, 2015 Careful Charlie! Adam didn't inspire me, just delayed me by several months!!! Though, I had delayed myself by a couple due to the ruddy cold weather! Yes, waterproof, has a seal all the way round and clear lid. The back just has the blades sticking out. I'm making a bus for the back. Quote
Rob Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Posted May 16, 2015 So, I have measured carefully and made up all the power leads, let's hope I measured correctly! Quote
plaicemat Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 I assume you are using tinned cables. I replaced all wiring on Stingray last year for tinned. Quote
Bramble banker Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 I think Adam should check his cable stock... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Rob Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Posted May 16, 2015 I would have robbed it but he still hasn't got it! Plus he is using twin and I went for single strand. Must say, I'm impressed with the adhesive lined heat shrink, creates a nice seal over soldered joins. Also, the heat shrink adhesive crimp spade connectors work well too. I've got as far as all but the lights under the console wired this morning (interrupted by visit to Kayak classic at Swanage) just the under seat wiring to go - structure scan, sound system, bilge pump negative & bait well pump. Just the fuel line to finish (check valve and new bulb & connectors). The ready for Dartmouth next week (no sharking though, too early this year). Quote
Rob Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Posted May 18, 2015 Under seat Fuse box nearly finished last night. numerous things soldered, crimped and sealed by torchlight! Now the big push in the evenings before Saturday morning. rich185 1 Quote
Rob Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Posted May 23, 2015 So, wiring sorted bar some deck LEDs. So she has her new livery on for her Dartmouth holiday with the family! Stuie, niggle, Maverick Martin and 2 others 5 Quote
