12V - Switch Power ON

[belwoodny]

Jason is out of the office. He helped me a lot with the installation of a Tracvision for which I'll post pictures very soon. It was an adventure and the pictures might help other owners.

Question:What is the power ON schedule ?
I have to tap 12V power for the M3 KVH antenna's controller that is in the media center. I could tap it from the upper bridge, but it is a messy spaghetti up there! Not really my way to do quality work. Any better way to get it from the bus panels?
I have not found another bus panel for Accessories in the "Salon".
While trying to get 12V, I switched the PORT 12V battery switch in the bilge. I did not get anything. Did I have also to turn the key at the control panel? Is there another kill switch somewhere else?

Thank you!

I am not sure what type boat you referring to, but from picture looks like you are in wrong place. I think picture shows area where all wires for monitoring system are going to (sea ray system monitor, bilge pump indicator lights etc)
There are few bus bars behind electrical (switch/breaker) panel and some of those bars are fed straight from batteries and battery switches.

Thanks for the fast response! Oops: The vessel serial # is SERAY01.13E4.95 ** 500DB301. The pix is from behind the electrical panel. I guess it means it is a double deck 55'.
