    Default Wakemakers Supra/Moomba Reversible Install

    I got my Wakemakers ballast kit in the mail yesterday. Very excited to get this installed in the offseason. Here is the kit https://www.wakemakers.com/supra-moo...m-upgrade.html

    For those who have installed this recently, how did you run the battery connection? I have two batteries on a standard red Perko switch. The kit comes with 3 fused battery ring terminals. Should I put all three of them on a bus bar/block type of thing and then run that to the switch? I don't think putting all three on one of the batteries is the best way to go. Just looking on the best way to go here for the two battery setup. I did a search and saw some people installed it on a Blue Sea Bus...but that was with the older Wakemakers kit that I believe did not come with fused battery terminals. Anyone have any recent experience with the newer wiring that comes with this kit?

    Here is a picture that shows the battery connection (you can see it in the top part of the picture):

    I did not use the fused ends in my install. I ran the 3 pumps to the Blue Sea Bus, then to Battery 2 (I think) on the battery selector switch.http://vault.myvzw.com/webcs/app/sha...ite/K38lkVCO9i

    Depends.. I've done both, if you're never going to additional stuff like a heater just connect them to the battery. Make you secure them, you don't want to have to crawl in there to reconnect them. If the fuses pop often that can be a pain. I usually replace the fuses with reseting breakers.

    If you gonna add stuff later I've run a 100amp breaker protected line to a bus bar or fuse box under the helm. Makes it easier to upgrade and trouble shoot.
