switch panel ?

[rob_g]

Since this is a duckboat site, is anybody using mud buddy switch panel? going to be wiring my boat for lights soon and would like a switch panel. The other ones i've seen from west marine seem like crap....here are the specs on mud buddy's unit. they go as follows

Stainless steel construction.

Laser engraved switch ID.

Marinco quality 12V plug with cover.

Mounts on gunnel or seat back

Truck quality rubber mounted interior light.

Bilge, running light, spot light and interior light weather proof switches.

All circuits protected by breaker switches.

Comes with 5' wire harness and mounting screws.

it goes for 115$....the ones from west marine were the same price if not more in most cases without the cigarette plug

I replaced the circuit panel in the bomber over this past summer.

I'd get the best thing you can afford, I mean, it is a pita to have to re-do it all.

what about Nav Lights and the Anchor Light (red/green bow/ White tail) You might need that out where you hunt...

yeah i think running lights they mean nav lights....or at least that's what im going to wire it up for

Do you need the 12v plug? If not, try www.pitstopusa.com and search for "switch panel". You will find a variety on there. Most have toggles with a push button start for the motor, if you need it. Take a look, there's a lot on there. They may not be "marine quality" but race car stuff usually gets beat up.

i'd think marine grade switches is the way to go plus having the cigarette plug is nice to have as i need to have a spotlight. I think im going to pick this one up and give it a try.

thanks
