Whaler 13 electrical upgrade
Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2018 10:04 am
I have a 1972 13 Sport which I am planning to upgrade the electrical distribution. My initial thoughts were to mount a Blue Seas ST 6 circuit fuse block # 5015. https://www.bluesea.com/products/5015/S ... _and_Cover. I have a fishfinder, nav lights, bilge pump and USB outlet.
I would like to mount this on the starboard transom near the navigation light. I would run the feed from the battery through a circuit breaker located adjacent to the battery back to this fuse block. My concern is that this fuse block is not weatherproof and I don't find that Blue Seas has a similar weatherproof device. There is no enclosed space to mount this fuse block. Under the helm offers some protection but this is so small that the fuse block would not be readily accessible. How have others upgraded the wiring? Any suggestions?
