PowerTrays - Mounting Platforms for Electrical Accessories and More!

Thanks very much for that info.

As I thought, as I'm creating my parts list, I have another question.
Is there a difference between getting this:
https://www.powertrays.com/collecti...ts/replacement-power-cable-for-the-switch-pro

Versus getting these two items:
https://www.powertrays.com/collections/power-accessories/products/battery-cables
https://www.powertrays.com/collecti...-sea-5191-mrbf-terminal-fuse-block-30-to-300a

Thanks!

 

Not really. The Switch-Pro specific one is cut to fit all the way to the back of the tray and then attach to the switch-pro.

You could make the same part out of those other items but the switch-pro one is ready to go with no measuring.

 

I drilled a 1/4” hole in the upper right corner for a Factory Look. I shrink wrapped my wires together after covering all my wires with flex black loom and the 1/4” hole wedged them in there nicely so there’s not much of an opening if at all. The hole actually would allow for the wire loom to go through, that’s how nice it fit in there. You could certainly use a grommet like @BEAR_KNIFE_FIGHT mentions. I didn’t bother because if there is a slight opening, it’s not much at all. Worked perfect. Here’s a pic for you

Awesome! Thanks very much for the quick replies! Very much appreciated.

 

I did the same as @KTJO 4x4. No grommet, but wireloomed the wires all the way into the fuse box, then shrink wrapped the end of the loom to keep it from expanding.

Installed.

 

On the Switch Pro / Blue Sea version, what is the consensus on grounds?

The Switch Pro grounds to the grounding bar, the battery or the fender?

The grounding bar grounds to the battery or the fender?

Thanks again!

 

I grounded the SwitchPro direct to the battery, the bus bar is also to the battery.

 

@Mr.PowerTrays i just ordered an off-road eng dual battery set up. In the comments I asked for cables for a power trays switch-pros set up. Is that sufficient to get across what I need? Or do I need to supply additional info. Thanks

 

Thanks. Did you just use the stock battery terminal or something different to leave the two grounds?

 

They fit nicely on the fender side of of the negative stock terminal. I have new terminals I'll install someday, but these fit well enough that intalling the new terminals fell way down on the list of things to do.

 

Thanks very much for the info!

Does the ground wire come with the Switch Pro, and is it long enough or do you have to extend?

I'm just trying to figure out what the negative wire that Power Trays sells is for? The negative bus bar maybe?

 

The SwitchPro ground is plenty long and comes with a ring terminal already crimped on. I have 2 PowerTray ground wires, a shortie that connects my 6 circuit Blue Sea fuse block to the bus bar and another than runs from the bus bar to the battery.

 

Thanks very much for your help and advice. I just placed my order!
The only thing I remained a little unsure on was the cable lengths from the battery. I noted my order as such and I'm hoping @Mr.PowerTrays can double check me and help out if needed.

 

should be all the info you'll need but you may get an email back telling you that you'll need to order the cables though me.

 

@BEAR_KNIFE_FIGHT, @KTJO 4x4, and @ROCdermody
Thank you so much for contributing to this thread and answering questions in my absence! I've been crazy busy lately and i've been falling behind on responding to emails and answering questions. so i'm definitely appresiative that we've got some good people in here that know there stuff.

Excellent! Very glad to hear! Thank you.

 

Happy to help, thanks for an awesome product! Looking to modify mine to incorporate a solar MPPT system... should be fun!
