RFRM Bussman Fuse Box & Relays - SPOD? HA!

Yeah, you can get one from your local out door store. Look for a kayak waterproof box. they have them in all sizes. Then you can just cut a hole in the side for the wires to enter/ exit from. Seal it with some Hot glue or RTV Sealant. Shouldn't have to spend more than $20-30 on the whole thing.

 

Plano has a couple nice boxes cheap. Dicks Sporting Goods, Bass Pro Shops, Cabellas, and any store that sells fishing gear will have some nice small solutions.

 

REI will have some too. West Marine also.

 

Duh! Lol

I should have thought of that!

 

Sometimes it takes a little abstract thinking from someone other than ourselves to bounce ideas off of

 

Just an idea, take all the metal mounting clips off of the relays. A screwdriver flathead to pry the plastic up and a p[air of pliers to pull the clips out.

Get some of the 3M Grey double sided foam tape. Used of automotive badge adhesion. <- I can link you to this.

put them 4 on one side and 4 on the opposite. (relays) so that all the wires are in the center. Make the same type of the harness you just created with the clips. Connect all the positive, and all the negative. Use only 1 trigger out from the relay each and 1 out for the power on.

SO with 8 relays, you should end up having 18 wires coming out of the box. Thats it.

Positive from Battery
Negative ground or battery
8 Triggers to switch
8 Out to accessory

Ground all your accessories as close as you can to the actual accessory. Saves on running extra wire.

 

I see OTRATTW lurking in here.

 

Some good links here

OTRATTW Switch

3 and 5 pin connectors

 

I love dealing with OTRATTW. I got all my switches from them and the little things i crimped on and the black pieces the switches plugged into.

 

Yep. Jim's on here look at the bottom of the thread. Great company. Just wish there was a better line on someone to redesign the switch I made.

 

Redid all I had in there. Now they stay in.

Switch harness is done. Will terminate the accessory harness later today. Work on a mount, and install by nightfall.

 

Very nice. Looks like I'm going to have to rip out the bluesea for this...

Here is a picture of the switch backs. I've been wanting to wrap the wires with harness tape, just low on the priorities.

 

just got home, eating some cereal and then to finish this monster 100%!

 

Almost done

 

man i asked the guy to make me a mini in march, he said 4 weeks and i have yet to hear back from him. sent a couple emails asking for update as well. sweet setup, i want one.

 

I can make it. Pm me.

 

1.0 done. Calling it 1.0 because I know I will want to add more to it.

 

Going to plug the last of the unused holes and foot to go. Now for the mount.
