    2017 V20 electronics wire size/gauge

    Does anyone know what size or gauge of wires are were used to connect to the graphs in the boats?? Also, has anyone noticed if they are directly connected to the cranking battery or to the fuse panel and then to the battery?? Thanks

    More than likely tied in at the console. Do you have the 2 bus bars mounted above the starting battery? If it ran back to the battery you could find it on the bus bar.

    Disconnect the positive connections and the add back one at a time and you can figure it out.

    I would just put a sub panel in the rod locker or storage compartment in front of the driver console

    run 8 or 10 gauge tinned wire to the panel and then wire the front and console graphs to the panel.
    It is easier to push the wire snake from the rod locker to the rear and then pull the wire back. You should still have a fuse on the 8 gauge wire at the battery to protect the wire from burning, but can then put specific rated fuses in the sub panel for each electronics added to the sub panel
