In Part 1, I reviewed wiring upgrades and boat wiring basics completed for my 2000 Triton TR21 bass boat. I recently purchased a 2014 Ranger Z520C. Today’s electronics require better wiring, a dedicated battery, and on/off switches to ensure battery life and conserve battery power. Part 2 of Bass Boat wiring goes beyond the basics! Factory boat wiring often leaves a lot to be desired. Today’s anglers often want the most recent technology and in most cases, need a wiring upgrade and an additional switch or switches. Networking electronics is also a key aspect of wiring bass boats. The Humminbird One Boat Network allows electronics to work together with Minn Kota trolling motors as well as other accessories. This video will give you a much better understanding of wire selection, terminal connections, fuse panels, Network Hubs, cable clean up suggestions, and more.
On board chargers installation and power outlets are added to simplify the charging process. These upgrades are designed to make the life of an angler more efficient.
The addition of Amped Outdoors lithium batteries are also highlighted in the video creating a lighter load, better voltage delivery, and create more space in the back compartment of a bass boat enabling the addition of accessories such as Minn Kota Raptors pumps.
Learning to wire a boat properly will deliver better and more reliable power to your electronics. You will also learn a great tip to avoid soldering. When you install your own wiring and fuse panels you will be able to clean up your wiring and be able to troubleshoot future issues. It’s not as hard as you think.
