Mounting fuse box and bus bar
Now that I've finished the controller upgrade to Poopsie (90 CC DS), I'm now on to installing the voltage reducer, fuse box, and bus bar. I've already mounted the reducer. I chose to mount in the back above the motor. I installed a 2x2 piece of aluminum angle between the bolts that hold the rear of the top and back seats on. My question is where are people installing their fuse box and bus bar? I definitely want them accessible and not where I installed the reducer. Please send me your pics.

Re: Mounting fuse box and bus bar
You can mount of the plate in front of batteries where vglide was mounted,but then you have to run a harness to dash for each accessory. That is easiest access point for fuse box.
I usually mount mine behind dash, then run from convertor to fusebox and buss bar. With fuses and ground behind dash there's less wire to accessories and add ons are easier. |

Re: Mounting fuse box and bus bar
I mounted my fuse block with integral ground buss in a square Tupperware sandwich container on the left side of the passenger dash cubby hole. Mounted it vertically and its easy to get to and its weather tight. Check with ScottyB, he sells the 6 fuse block assembly.

Our fuse panel has a clear cover. It's rated splash proof. And you could see the burnt fuse LED alarm lighted without removing the cover, if a fuse burnt. So any where you can see it easy enough is good. |

Re: Mounting fuse box and bus bar
Thanks Mudog, Hunter, and ScottyB. All good ideas (especially Tupperware). I'm exploring the dash option as it would be easier not to always have to run wires to the back.
Swan: I wish I had the room for an extra battery. I'm guessing you have an extra charger too? |

I built a duck boat a few years back and did the same thing due to the wet conditions and it has worked great. For the cart all my 12 volt accessories were at the front so just a few wires from the reducer. I painted the container with Fusion flat black paint and most people don't even know its there. I took a permanent marker and labeled the circuits on the inside of the lid and taped a few extra fuses as well. |
