Re: Voltage reducers
Sorry for the delay guys. I've been away for a while.
Here is a link to the type of fuse block I used. I found it at a local marine/boating supply shop. http://www.bluesea.com/products/5025..._Bus_and_Cover |

The key or limitation will be if I end up running too many accesories and draw more than 30 amps? I'll let the pros chime in on that one. For now, I am able to run headlights, green LED fogs and a standard marine stereo/cd player with no issues. Oh, last Halloween, I also added some light strings via a 12v cig adapter and inverter. All seemed to work fine at the same time. |

Re: Voltage reducers
That is a very nice fuse block. Particularly I like the return (12V -) feature on that block. Since mine is a factory harness, all the 12V - lines are tied together in it and tie to the -36V. The factory 12V fuse block has positions for flasher and turn signals. One for headlights, and one for brake lights. I tied the reducer output to that fuse block.
Now that we have reducers, I will have to get a small inverter like you for xmas and halloween lights. |

Voltage reducers
Quote:
My comment was based on my experience with my Red Hawk 25a reducer, not other peoples opinions on this forum. If I leave my digital meter on the cart with no reducer attached it takes more than an afternoon to even move 1/10th of a single volt. 38.2 (after resting from a charge), 38.1 the next day, etc. When I hook up the reducer and turn all accessories off I can watch it drop tenths just over a minute or two. This is obviously multiplied once accessories get turned on. QUOTE=jay1028;1046450]Steve, Completely agree. Was wondering if anyone was going to let that go or agree. As I stated, the yellow trigger wire on my unit (when a DMM was connected in series with it) was drawing a mere 20ma. Hardly going to 'pop' any kind of switch. Jay[/QUOTE] Thank you for your opinion, but if you are going to quote me don't put words in my mouth. I said it would pop a switch "light" aka lighted switches. Not the switch itself. I had to buy another switch that ran off the reducer just to light my other switches and purchase independent lighted switches instead of the cheaper standard lighted switches.
