Appreciate the advice, I'm looking up DMM right now! The schematics as you say is just what I need. Unfortunately, it's unique to the box I'm building. Like I said, simple for now is probably best and the circuit breaker will protect the motor. I'll study up and hopefully figure out how to wire the USB and 12V port (not that i need it, but would like to have it). All the best, Jack

Thanks Bankc, appreciate you taking the time to explain to me. Unfortunately, I was hoping someone would simply lay it out for me rather than discussing it. Since I don’t grasp certain concepts I’m going to run it simple with the battery to breaker to trolling motor. To charge it, I’ll have connected the RC meter to see what I’ve used and how it’s charging. Nothing against you personally, you were fantastic in explaining the intricacies of wiring, I just have very basic knowledge at best. You’re certainly a good dude for taking the time to help a guy and I promise I always pay it forward. All the best my man and may you catch em up out there. Jack

Not sure if this is right?

Wow, now that's what I'm talking about. Really appreciate this, I'm going to do a virtual mockup if you wouldn't mind having a peek. I'd hate to miss a step and then who knows what you hear some horror stories out there. Appreciate your time and I will certainly bring a paddle along!

Thanks Bankc, that's a great start. Do I feed directly off the battery for the accessories fuse box? If the meter goes in parallel and fails (not sure if they ever do) I essentially lose power to the motor. Would the meter go between the breaker and motor then?

Good evening gents, Recently I decided I would mount a trolling motor on my Malibu 2XL kayak which I bought at Capt. Kayak a few years back. Just thought it would be really cool to take the wife, or kid, out for a day of fishing. The thing tracks and paddles really nice, so I’d imagine the motor would make it a great ride. Right now, I'm stuck in wiring my box with a few accessories. I believe I have the basic wiring down and I intend to register the kayak and ultimately test it on the water this week. Can someone lay me out with the wiring for accessories and more importantly the RC meter. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
