Probably a silly question, but where did you hook the black wire? To clearify, make sure the head unit has a good ground.

It was a bad head unit. I brought the new one home and it worked great.

Glad you got that sorted out.

We made a little progress tonight. Got some wiring laid, insulation cut and put in and distro box located. Also have a second shelf put in for Tx boxes and such. One step at a time!

Looking good. I just installed the same converter and finished up my electric. I'll post up some pics tomorrow.

MJGo, did you run into any issues with the Distribution Box? Did you hook up a deep cycle 12V. What wiring did you use if you did.

Thanks!

No issues. I was a little intimidating at first but here's what I have.
2 Trojan 6 volt 225 ah batteries run in series. Grounded to the frame with 2/0 wire I picked up from West Marine. The batteries run to my inverter with the supplied #4 wire that was doubled up. The pd 4045 is hooked up to the batteries with #6 wire which was the biggest that would fit into the terminals. That's fed through my Marinco 15 amp inlet with #10 romex wire feeding into the unit. Also used #10 romex wire for my a/c. The dist box is running the main 30 amp breaker, 20 amp for the converter, 20 amp for the AC and 15 for all the outlets. I may put a double breaker to separate some of the outlets but for now I think it will work b/c I don't really ever plan on running all of my outlets @ one time. I did run a junction box to do it all from under the base cabinet if I ever want to.
The dc side is running 2 charger outlets up front, radio, alarm, main led strip lights on the roof, spot lights on the rear(hate taking my plane apart in the dark), indirect led lighting behind the tv and under the kick plate of my base cabinet and led lights that will be running under the shelf in the back when I get some etrack. I also made a plug from my inverter and put it in a box under the cabinet, solely

for more outlets on the inverter side. Hope this helps. It took me about a week to figure all the wiring out but it's working flawlessly. It's a great setup.

Nice setup. I can wait to get everything in place!

What lighting and spot lights are you using??

I like those spot lights
