Searaider 2 - Wiring Tidy-up & Electronics Hookup ( Thanks Grand_Marlin )

[Searaider 2]

Hi Gang ,
I've been going to hook up some of my New & existing Electronic Toys ( Radar / HDS 10 & Structure Scan ) as well as Tidy up the under dash wiring
for a while now on Searaider 2 .
But for varying reasons I haven't been able to do it .

After reading some of the previous Posts I thought I'd get Grand_Marlin ( Pete Mob No 0419263264 from Valet Boat Services to do it ) .

On taking my boat over to him I also got him to add an LED Light under the Canopy as well as under both gunnels .
Also had him recommend & fit a decent Duel Battery Isolating Switch set up as well Anderson Plug Point that I could hook my Battery Charger into .
I was quite impressed with the workmanship & results & thought I'd post some before & after photos of the Wiring & add-ons .

Also nearly forgot to mention Pete repositioned or replaced the original Fues ( where required ) with the new ones in a position under the dash .
( 20 odd )
Now I can actually find / get to them & easily identify which is which .

It's not had to see which is the Before & which is the After Photos for the work .
Note :-
A lot of the existing wiring clutter is from the Original Installation when I bought the boat .

Thanks Pete for a Job well done .
As Arnie said I'LL BE BACK .

A couple more .
Also I forgot to mention .
Where he installed the Radar & Structure Scan Module is up under the Left Hand Gunnel adjacent my Passenger Seat Box .
Top installation but I've no idea how he actually managed to get to it to do it :o as I'm flat out getting my head down there to have a look .

Also the Anderson plug for hooking the battery charger normally fits nicely down behind the battery , I've just pulled out so that you can see it .

Thanks Wayne ,
Yep that why I went for the Broardband Radar their suppose to be good for detecting things at Short Range .

Now I just have to get out & Try & Figure out how it all works :P8-)

Looks like a work of art to me. Must be a bit of peace of mind as well knowing that all those connections are well sorted. I think you need to be a midget contortionist to work on some boats or perhaps just young and agile, anyway, both out of range for me.

No doubt about Pete GM he is gun of his trade!!

Thanks Pete,

Certainly a lot neater and safer now.

Peter, I saw your boat at Grand Marlins place, very nice rig. I certainly enjoy picking my boat up from there anytime it gets work done, I am always pleasantly surprised at his workmanship.
Have fun with the new gear, I picked up a whale spout on my HDS radar last whale season, thought it was a small boat but didnt always come up. As I got closer found a whale! I can also suggest a few things to look at in regards to setting radar height in settings...Pete may have already mentioned this, in regards to range.
Cheers
Marty
