Raycaster Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Made a rookie mistake today rushing to get 16' fixer upper pontoon ready. Decided to rewire lights etc. and add a rocker switch panel on the console for aux/fishfinder/USB 5V etc. The original owner had a set of fog lights that he never installed so I thought no prob, just add to panel, nice and clean. I'm totally embarrassed as in my hurry I forgot about the 55W bulbs. The rocker panel has fuses inline (5A I think) and of course it blew immediately. I slowly remembered a relay in the fog light package that I ignored! Any boating/foglight instructions online? I have no instructions with it and will be hitting google but thought I'd ask the pros here. Edited June 8, 2013 by Raycaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raycaster Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Craig Veltzen 99 Looks like a good solution. Also probably have to replace the wire with heavy gauge... Edited June 7, 2013 by Raycaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tybo Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 The first one is the way to go. It's better to fuse the switch seperate from the relay. 18ga for the lights and 22 for activation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
