This is top level boat wiring at it's finest. The products used are marine grade (not cheap junk) and will provide years of reliable and safe service. He is meticulous and methodical each step of the way, and everyone should take note of how this is done, because safety is imperative on water. I've witnessed first hand very unsafe and unreliable boat wiring techniques and corrected many hack jobs. I salute you sir for doing it the right way and taking the time to show others how it should be done. Thank you.

I have one suggestion for future movies. In this movie I wish that you had used extra wire that was, say red and black, to connect to the back of the box so we could physically see what you were connecting. I think I have enough electrical knowledge to know what you did but you actually held the box with the switches directly in front of the camera and then somehow manipulated with your fingers to touch the leads or poles on the battery. It would be nice if we could actually see that being done. I don't know if you can do it or not but it would be cool to simply insert into your current video exactly what that would look like. That would probably help out a lot of us a great deal. Other than that it's just a great great video great video

Around 10:05...don't heat-shrink both ends before you melt the solder...that will lock an air-bubble in the middle which prevents the heat-shrink from shrinking down against the soldered connections. Also, the first connectors you used can be heat-shrink instead of just clamping. I still add another heat-shrink in exterior applications but it's not necessary. I get mine from Amazon. Over the past year (14 months since I bought my first boat...a 30 year old wellkraft cuddy) I've watched dozens of KZfaq videos on boat wiring but you video is the only one I haven't removed from my "Watch Later" list. I'm adding, so far, 20 switches as I completely replace every wire and electrical thingie on the boat.

Awesome content!! Couldn't you use that second toggle switch as the overall "Master power switch" that way the LEDS and voltage meter are only running when the "Master power switch" is on which would likely be only when the boat is being used and when the boat is not being used you can turn that switch off and nothing would be getting power and then there would be no power draining the battery I am thinking about doing that for my boat and curious if that would workout? Also could you rig it up so one of those switches in the panel is the "Master power switch"?
@BassBrothersFishingDMV
@BassBrothersFishingDMV 2 жыл бұрын
The Master Power Switch fullfils the need to be able to control power being drained only when the boat is in use. Now that I've used the control panel and boat for over a year now, I've experienced that the voltage meter and lower LEDs really don't drain the battery to the point where you need the toggle switch. To keep things simple I would just leave it out of the build. It's more of a good to have. Not really a necessity

Have a picture of what it should look like once it’s all hooked up?

Just get power from acc for back light. That way it's only illuminated when your driving or acc forward.

Thanks for this great set of videos. I can’t seem to find a video on your Battery charger setup. Am I missing something, or the link to which one you chose. Thanks again, just starting our build.

@@BassBrothersFishingDMV one more question. If I have 3 batteries. 2 in tandem, should I wire each bank to each battery separately or just wire one to one battery and the second bank to the paralleled batteries NOT using the 3 bank on the charger? Just trying to figure out what set up to get. Sorry. I looked at their site but couldn’t find the answer.

@@ChrisBusinsky Good question. wire each battery separately. So if you have 3 batteries buy a 3 bank charger. It doesn't matter if two of the batteries are wired parallel.

@@BassBrothersFishingDMV Since you've been so helpful, I have another question. I have 2, 1" holes from where I took out the livewell lines. What would be the best way to plug those. I was thinking a new threw plug, but there are so many and I'm afraid one might come out while we were fishing. Just wanted to get your opinion and if you have a favorite thru plug you've use let me know. Really appreciate the help!

I have one nilight brand but it doesn't have a yellow wire equivalent and I only have a constant 12v power source other than my trigger wire for my amp. I don't want to use that and if I use the cigarette lighter wire don't I need a relay? Also where would I connect a trigger wire?

Should've made solid butt connector to 1st red wire loom thats goin to on switch for permanent power. Less quick connects you have, less issues you have to worry bout with coming apart, corrosion & rubbing. Especially when its goin to be tight area where many other wires goin to be. Just lil share from one thats been there & 40yrs of mechanical commercial exp..👍

Great video, I just got one of those with 8 switches, if I connect the blue wire to one of the positives in one switch (like powering a device, black to the battery and red to the switch), will that switch will control the leds? Thanks.

Very nice video. I have one question, if you're not using all the switches, couldn't you use one to power the other switches?

Yes that's correct. I do plan to use the final switch some day for another accessory 😃
