Been a year since I wired mine on an old Ranger. But mine also is converted to 24v at the plug. It was no problem. Danny gave me the basics, good directions and diagrams came with the unit, and it really is no problem. After I got it hooked up he asked me to call him from the boat so he could have me check a few things while he was on the phone. I love this thing.[/QUOTE] I had the same type of wiring set up as Propster and installed my Stealth last year as well.
Works great! Absolutely love the thing.
The MinnKota is also a very good unit, I mainly bought the Stealth because if something should happen, its rebuildable, not throwaway.
As a side note, when buying a Stealth from Danny (who rocks BTW) if you tell him exactly how far your wire runs are, he will send you all the wire you should need and at the correct lengths. It is high quality marine grade wire too.
Unfortunately for me I made a couple mistakes when measuring so it didn't quite work perfectly for me and I had to buy one length of wire, but still it was great.
At any rate, a DC alternator charger is something I will have on every boat from now on. For me it will be a Stealth because I am just so impressed with the thing.[/QUOTE]
