Looks really good @Bassin4funI understand you are trying to keep the pwm waterproof,  but they are notorious for overheating.   Did you add any vents to your box?   The switch box looks really good,  as does your wiring.   Hopefully you get long use of it.  Curious about your battery.   Bought or built?  I'm building a couple.

Wow nice!   How much $ do you think you have in it?

With the fishfinder...probably about $2500.

Thank you! The pwm has a fan on it. The board it is mounted to is off the bottom of the box so air can flow all the way around it in the box..but no vent. If it iverheats...I will do another one with vents. I have a 50a breaker between it and battery. I bought a Chin's brand smart 100ah lithium battery on Amazon.

Cool.  Never seen that battery.   I've built 2 LiPo batteries,  but I want more power.  Going to build them twice the size.

Wow! That does look nice. What does it weigh with all the gizmos and batteries installed? Buck 40?

I am guessing with all my gear...probably 170. Kayak all by itself is 78lbs..

Man that's a great job but just looking at that thing makes my back hurt.

Oh to be young and have working body parts!

Hope you get lots of great use out of that baby.
