Anyone have any pdf's on electrical system wiring for their jet boats? I have an idea in my head, but thought I'd see what others are doing as well.

BTW, whats up fellas haven't been around the boards in a fresh minute.

Wires here wires there.  Debating how I want to run power to the front of the boat. Debating wiring in a stereo. Meh. Looking for motivation mostly I think. Got the gauges daisy changed together and sending unit wires pulled to the back. Ten gauge wire positive and negative to the front. Thats as far as I've gotten.

  Well I would run the wires on the right side of the boat so that your foward & reverse cable are clear and out the way, just an idea.

Is that white coated harness 4-wire?
I used 9-wire heavy truck-trailer wire, got it from Napa, about a buck a foot, and some stand alone fuse panels from summit.

ONe addition I've used on Chevy boats...is use a Ford starter solenoind. You can loose alot of voltage from the dash back. Makes hot-starts alot easier on everything.
