Wish you would have shown the Yamaha multi command wiring job. I'm rewiring my Yamaha gauges. Just bought the boat. Tach works. The Speedo gauge I have a light.... That's it. My fuel tank has a pink coming up to the console. Too bad you're not in MLPS, MN. you do excellent work!

The cellular structure of the PVC board can be a little tricky for holding screws, if you put your screws in then back them out and put a little epoxy in the screw holes it will harden up the threads and prevent them from pulling out.

If the item you're trying to power doesn't exceed 12v, yes. They probably put in 18v switches because that's all they had. Heck, technically you could use 110v switches, the voltages/amps listed is always the maximum voltage/amps safe for the device.

@JackedUpFishing Жыл бұрын

I built this boat in 2012 from ground up. Yes batteries are supposed to be there. Keeping the batteries out of the bills area is one of the best things you can do on a boat if you have the room. It keeps everything in a centralized location switch is battery on off switches and keeps your bills area clean as well.

@sstatic6093 Жыл бұрын

@@JackedUpFishing let me know when I’m to much cause I need some help I have a center console StarCraft 1989 aluminum it has battery compartments in the back if I could send a picture I would but KZfaq doesn’t work that way so I’m trying to rewire the whole boat kinda like your doing so why use negative and positive bus bar if the fuse block has that on it? And how do you wire something like that cause I want to add a cut off switch for 2 batteries as well as an ACR and battery charger what I found out about the cut off switch that no one mentioned on KZfaq is that anyone doesn’t work and can mess your motor up. The kind that you should get is one that has a surge protector that keeps from blowing up your alternator from switching between batteries or turning it off.

Can you clarify why you did two fuse blocks? You mentioned one is connected to the main red on/off battery switch but the other isn't? What things are on one vs the other?

@JackedUpFishing 7 ай бұрын

One is for all of the accessories from the switches, so each circuit is protected. The other is fused power to unswitched devices like jack plate, power pole, etc. which also has ground lugs- hold that helps

@AlexKost-tq6bj 7 ай бұрын

@@JackedUpFishing Just to clarify, all circuits are fuse protected, it's just that you kept one fuse block for unswitched devices and another for switched devices? I'm assuming if I didn't have as many devices (some switched, others unswitched) then I can just use a single fuse block? Just wondering if I should be getting two smaller fuse blocks and keeping switched/unswitched devices separated vs just gone one bigger fuse block!

I know this is somewhat an older video, but you shouldn't use tie-raps if you want something with easy maintenance but also neat looking. You should use those velcro straps instead, does the same thing, but can be easily unsnapped to re-rig something and whatnot, instead of cutting 20 tie-raps lol. Out of curiosity, what is the beam width of your boat and the console's width? Also, is it easy to move around it on the water? I'm asking because I am thinking of buying a brand new 16 feet aluminum boat and add in a center console on it, but I wonder if it might be too large for the boat... so that would give me a good idea if it could work for mine or not.

@JackedUpFishing 10 ай бұрын

I have actually looked at using the Velcro straps, but honestly you can not route things the same and do a tight job with them. They also get funky after 1 season. But if you like them then that's awesome. More than one way to get the job done. My boat is a 21 Shoalwater cat. Texas made boat with a beam of around 9ft. Console is 30 wide and its so easy to get around. Never selling this boat. Love it

Labels on every wire is the only way to completely organize the electrical system. What you really want to know when you are holding a wire in your hand is where does it go or come from? Right next to the terminal, a short label naming the location of THE OTHER END OF THE WIRE. It will enable quicker trouble shooting and even allow full tracing of wires without probing.
