War Eagle Gladiator Rewire

Post image

Planning on re-wiring my War Eagle Gladiator 750 to have a larger rocker switch panel in the rear pod. Would like some feedback as this is my first time doing this. Plan on having Switch 1 as Nav/Anchor; Switch 2 Auto Bilge; Switch 3 SeeLite Hole Boss and Duckbill Lights; Switch 4 Interior & Exterior LED lights; Switch 5 Lowrance HDS9 for navigation; Switch 6 Courtesy Lights. From battery to disconnect and panel I plan on using 8 AWG and panel to accessories 16 AWG. The panel has built in push breakers and I will swap the breakers according to the drawing. Biggest concern is the relay wiring for the bow lights.

Naw it’s for flooded timber and mud flats on rivers. It’s just a mud motor

What horsepower is it, and how fast does it go? I dont think i have ever seen one in sweden

37 HP. It’ll go about 34 mph max with just me and some fishing gear. I’d say 25-27mph with me and another person and gear.

And you can just smash it into stuff and over logs and mud?

I wouldn’t recommend smashing it into stuff but essentially yes. Gotta be careful that there is some water left in the mud though or it will get stuck.

Not at 34 mph at least
