Wiring from scratch - what to get and where from?

I'm after a shopping list and online places (preferably all from one site) so we can wire Crusher Destroyer.

I'm only after a very basic fit-out for racing and a bit of 'leisure' use.

I'll need 2 kill switches, a master battery switch and an electric bilge pump (I have a Rule 850GPH I think to go in). I have an Offshore trim pump, which will be run off a pro-trim stalk. I won't be using a control box, just a salmon shifter. I'm not fussed about key start, a simple ignition switch and starter button on the dash will be fine. I'd like to have the provision to add things like a Chart Plotter & Lights etc in the future. A simple switch panel and fuse box that I can add things too later on would be ideal. Obviously I'll need wire, battery cables etc. Oh yeah and a decent battery!!

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul

Lucas House has all you need and will probably do a trade price for you, I just had to replace two start batts and two deep cycle domestics and they did a really good deal

Wiring supplies

You should be able to get most stuff from here:

www.polevolt.co.uk

Mostly Automotive but some of the stuff is IP65 rated.

That's a great site cheers Cyco!

Do you have any recommendations for fuseboxes and busbars etc?
