Nice.
But how long did it take you to decide where you wanted them? I know if it were me, it would have taken a month of just thinking about it.

Just the one photo I posted . Wiring is simple , the red wire from each switch to power , then the other wire from each swith to the small "triger" termal on the solnoid(s )

Just to make it clearer the other wire goes to the same termals that the helm switch uses .



If i have my camera with me next time I can take a shot , not much to see just some solenoids and wires .
