Matt McMillen Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Hey guys, Im rewiring my Tracker txw17. After advice, i ran across a company that has preassembled wiring harnesses and panel wiring. Has anyone had any experience with EZACDC or any opinions on it? Thanks! Quote
Super User slonezp Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 Never heard of them. I checked out their website. Seems to me it's a little pricey. Sounds like you're a little intimidated. Are you looking for an easy alternative to wiring the boat? You won't find one LOL. Best thing you can do is make a wiring diagram yourself(like you already did) and make sure it is correct. Use it as a map and run the wiring yourself. Since it sounds like you have the floor removed either fully or partially, get some sealtite at Home Depot and run it thru the hull to be used as a rigging tube for your 12v accessories. Run different color wire for each circuit. I saw you posted on tinboats. Those guys can steer you in the right direction as far as switches and enclosures. Sounds like a fun project. Just don't get in a rush and do it right. Quote

I did figure out a good diagram (I believe) but the assembled switch panel would take a lot of cost out of buying the supplies and tools to do the right job. Heres a pic of the diagram if you haven't seen it already! Thanks again! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 It does look expensive on the surface, but it sure looks like a time saver. It would look really clean for resale....might look into it for my Xpress. Quote
Tim Kelly Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 You don't have any livewell, lights or bilge pump wiring on your diagram. Are they being taken care of separately? Quote

Matt McMillen Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 Beg your pardon, so they are. Hey, in all fairness it can be hard to see the pictures/attachments on the forum! Quote

Plus the terminals are already waterproof and snap together(weatherpack terminals is the brand) and they are shrink sealed also with the tinned copper wire. So the quality is there I believe Quote
