This is extremely helpful and very simple to understand. This is the only video that actually breaks it down in simple terms for a person who has never done any electrical work in a boat. Awesome video and thank you!

Fyi the red fuse wires go to your appliance positive all negatives connected together in a junction box

I have this same switch I have hool up yah me ! But when plugged in to battery the rectangle lights at the bottom of switch is on constantly. I only want lights to be on when I turn them on .

Just disconnect the power lead going to those lights. Blue wire on my switch panel.

I'm a bit slow, I really didn't understand the additional wires there...

@Skinnyriver Жыл бұрын

I think the ones you are taking about are just to distribute/jump the power to the switch lights

@davisedmonds3314 2 жыл бұрын

So I can run my light bar wire straight to the back of the switch?

@Skinnyriver 2 жыл бұрын

Best practice is to have a fuse block. Light bar to fuse block to switch. If your switch is fused you could go directly to the switch if the fuse amp rating matches the protection you need. Or have an inline fuse going to the light bar

Great video. I bought the same panel. I’m concerned on it draining my battery since the switch lights are always on even if the switches are in the off position and the equipment attached are off. Anyway around this?

@Skinnyriver 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah you have to get a main power switch/cutoff between your battery and the rest of the boat wiring. Or do what I do and simply unhook the positive connection off the battery terminal when not in use

@noahhiggins500 2 жыл бұрын

@@Skinnyriver ok, and if I have a fuse box/buss bar, would the master switch be between the battery and fuse box?

@Skinnyriver 2 жыл бұрын

I’m not an electrician but I think the main kill switch should be before everything (immediately after the battery) That way if you have an issue with your fuse block (rat chews some wires and it starts smoking), when you kill power it kills it to everything. Just make sure the switch is rated at high enough amps. ALL the current for everything in the circuit will go through that switch. Not that huge of an issue unless the trolling motor is on the battery. Trolling motor can pull 50 amps.

How do you feel about this switch board a year later?

@Skinnyriver Жыл бұрын

It’s still doing good, was afraid of water and moisture but so far so good

@@Skinnyriver one more question, do you see any problem with putting a minn Kota trolling motor 2 separate led lights and then navigation lights on it?

@Skinnyriver Жыл бұрын

Are you wanting to put the trolling motor on it? That’s too many amps, the switch board (and most like it) is only rated for 10amps. So only lights and small things like bilge pumps

@Ndjdme Жыл бұрын

That’s what I was worried about I suppose I should watch a couple more videos on low voltage in general

@Skinnyriver Жыл бұрын

There is really not a reason to wire your trolling motor through a switch. Because you control it (on off) when you are using it. Most people direct wire to the battery and have a 50 amp inline fuse or 50amp DC circuit breaker that protects if there ever was an electrical issue (prevents fire hazard)
