How big of a hole do I need to saw out to mount this where the switch is accessible and the terminals are within the battery compartment?

I don't know what size holesaw would be required as the cables enter from the sides. I mounted it on a flat surface and cabled in to the sides. it would be tough to flush mount this switch unless you had good access to the rear.

The switch comes with a template The terminal are within the switch itself has a back cover that is part of the unit.

I didn't flush mount mine. I did a surface mount so I'm not sure of the hole size

Here is a link to the install instructions. Looks like 2 5/8" Diameter hole http://assets.bluesea.com/files/resources/instructions/6007_web_version.pdf

Yes - there's the mounting bracket, screws and short wiring pigtail. You'll need to buy a fuse (30 amp) and additional wire (12 gauge) to reach the battery. The switch is part of the light. It's an awesome light, and be aware that it gets hot and needs plenty of space around it for ventilation.

This switch has three connectors, one for hot, one for the output ot load, and one for the switch light ground. It has the switch light power from the output terminal. They are slip connector lugs. the length of hole for this switch to push into and latch is 1.5" long, 3/4" wide and need 2" for depth unless you use right angle slip lugs. I hope this helps, wished that it was available for me when I bought these.

If I remember correctly there are a few different options for the switches. I bought the rectangular one shown. The actual switch face is approximately 1x1.5". The depth is 3-4", so that requires a pretty open area for installation. Good luck! They are wonderful, and I use mine every day!

The switch is designed to attach to the inside of the leg. You would have to make your own bracket in order to mount the switch outside the leg or modify that slide out cabinet piece on the right side to fit around the switch.

Sorry I don't have it anymore. Put the battery in a portable 12v car jumper and gave it to my son, he'd have to tear it apart to find out. I think they were just averaged sized terminals, around 1/4 of an inch wide if I remember.

No, the terminals are too large. This is intended for smaller batteries like motorcycles, sno blowers, etc.

Not sure of hole size but there is a template in box. Just make sure you allow for terminals as they stick out a little on each side. You probably would want cut hole slightly bigger. They come 2 to a box.

The slot is 3/8 inch by my measurements so it might be a tight fit. My switch is 3/8 inch at the base, but gets narrower at the tip and it fits/works fine. We have been using it for 1 year without any problems or battery changes. There is also room to file down the width or the height of the opening to accommodate a larger switch (especially if you're looking at a close fit.) Hope that helps!

If I remember correctly, the switch box is roughly 1" deep. I suppose it could be mounted anywhere that's waterproof, but this light just doesn't throw much light. I doubt you'll be happy with it.

Hi, i would run a 16 or 18 gauge wire no need for anything larger than that 16 is fine, extend the wires connect them all together red to red black to black for as meny lighted cup holder as you want then run the black wire to the neg side of the battery then run a red wire to your switch and the other side of the switch to the pos side of the battery and your done good luck its easy to do if the wires on the cup holder are not color coded just use one wire for the neg and one wire for the pos (red) (pos)

I agree with comment (1) as this is the answer I would have given. i.e.Both pieces are the same size, except the terminal screws extend from the switch side. The moulded parts are 1/2" deep - 2-3/16" long and 1/2" high including the 1/32" thick foam adhesive. mounting centre distance 1-3/4". total depth with screws and wire under the screws is 5/8".

For the switch body about 1 1/2 to 2"inches but by the time you attach the wires more like 3 to 4 inches.

You need a .75 (3/4") hole. And I believe the wiring is black is +, wht is -.

Just plug it in the balance port on your battery. Mounting it, I used the velcro provided and drilled two small holes slightly off center and close together, mark one of the wires and the terminal block un-plug them from the block feed through the holes and Bingo. Mine came out very nice. Also cut out a small rectangle on the velcro on the light to make a nice fit for the wires on the light itself..

How deep is this from the flush mounting point to the end of the terminals?

From the mounting face of the panel it goes back pretty close to 1 7/8". But there are 2 flat terminals sticking back approx. another 3/8". I had limited clearance where I put mine so I had to find 90 degree flag terminals to hook it up. This was a real challenge for me because none of the usual places have 90 degree. Regular non-twist plugs work fine except Some plugs may not make e real "secure" connection. I have a Radio Shack solar trickle charger that would break connection at the slightest bump of the plug. I had to replace it with the plug that is the companion to this socket. But I have a DVD player that doesn't do this at all. 'Just depends on the plug, I guess.
