"I'm not making this boat look fancy like all these bass boats you see on TH-cam." -Makes the Jon boat fancier than all the fancy bass boats on TH-cam. Seriously, your boat looks great.
Industrial Electrician and Maintenance Tech here. I've been in this field my entire adult life. Residential, commercial, industrial and line work. Don't listen to the inexperienced keyboard warriors. You might not be perfect or doing it their way, but it looks good to me. I thought about a way you could've done the control board a little different, but that was just a personal preference of mine. You did a good job. It was a good video.
After being in the automotive industry my entire life, working on ever thing from ambulances to handicap vans, this is one of the better wiring video's I have seen for people starting out
Fantastic job explaining the electrical elements of a little build. The mansplainer rant was a bonus. I am rebuilding my 12 ft v-hull once again. This time, to get it lighter and easier to load/unload, I am trying to make everything in the boat removable. I have more time than I have back strength and my favorite boat launch does not allow trailers.
I stumbled on your channel yesterday. My wife and I watched a few of em. Wasn't looking for boat stuff at all. Spent a few years of my life building boats and jet ski's for a couple of companies though, so I can relate a bit. My wife flat out said "Is he your long lost brother or something because you two act exactly the same". I'm not aware of any long lost brothers but she made a damn good point. I cannot wait to get in here and hurt the scooters feelings. Time to start browsing comments.
This video was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Never thought about a cut-off switch to shut everything down. It's on my shopping list! You are so right about skimping elsewhere, NOT on marine grade wire! I have one suggestion and you can take it or tell me to shove it. Next time a troll starts giving you shit about what they thought was wrong, etc. simply say "Thank you for sharing that with me." They never know if you are serious or screwing with them. If our paths ever cross remind me I owe you a rack of beer for taking time to share your expertise and time with us so we can get it right the first time. Thank You Sir!
Gosh this seemd so simple when I first bought the boat. After a few more weeks and a few dead ends, finally getting to doing this wiring seems a bit more daunting to be honest. I am not an electrican by any means and props to you for getting this done so smoothly
@@NICHOLASBYRNE3931no, if anything it adds slight resistance but nothing that would change the amp rating of the wire. Tinned is just good to protect from corrosion.
I was just browsing through TH-cam looking at different boat wiring videos then I saw the "Reserved for LSU" sign on your wall... Instant Subscription. Very informative video also...
One of the best informative boat wiring videos I've ever seen! THANKS for explaining everything you did instead of glossing over stuff! NOT EVERYONE is a professional electrician!
As my friend would say, "You are an idiot!" That is his highest compliment in evaluating humor. You are funny and also know what you were doing. Great stuff.
I just came across this vid and found it to be easier to understand than pretty much all the other vids out there and your Scooter comments at the end are are great touch, very entertaining 🍻👍
Thanks to your video…I completely rewired my entire boat for a 24 volt trolling motor, front and back lights hooked up to the circuit breaker and toggle switch panel. Thanks for the vid!!
Absolutely the best help video I've seen. Wasn't sure what I would find when I searched. Spot on and easy to follow. Thanks for the laugh as well. Got to love them Scooter's.
I don’t really sub to people on TH-cam, but you earned one today. This video is a huge help to wire up my future ex Jon boat. Not only was it informative I am SO glad I stayed for haters corner. I laughed harder at the see cashier comment than I rightfully should have. The moose comment was one hell of an escalation lol Great video!
Lmfao!! Thanks brother, loved your video. Especially “haters corner”! There ain’t no pleasing everyone. And if they’ve got better ideas, then tell to step up and make their own vid!! Awesome content, love it!!
I'm new to your channel I look forward to seeing more video this wiring helped a lot I just wired my pontoon and after seeing this video I don't like the way I did mine so looks like this weekend I'm redoing the wires on my new switches and put battery kill switch on it and a breaker on the trolling motor thanks for taking the time to make this video very helpful thanks and I don't understand people why they want to tell you that you did it wrong some people are just stupid and like I tell my nephew all the time you can't fix stupid thanks again my friend for the help on the wiring .Tony from Easley SC
Hey man, I am almost finished with my 1972 Monarch 14 footer. I watched your videos cuz you do a great job explaining how it. I just have to hook up battery switch and switch panel. I would send a couple of pictures if I can figure it out, thanks for all your videos they gave me the convenience I needed. By the way I hooked my navigation lights up right the first time. LOL.
I just bought my first boat ever (16ft v bottom Jon boat) just something to take the kids out fishing on and I’d have to say out of these boat wiring videos this is one of the best ones!! Keep up the great content!! **Subscribed**
I’m 53 years old. For years I’ve used a lighter on shrink tubing with mixed results. Since my viewing of this video I’m now a owner of a new heat gun! My pragmatic side once to say thanks. My ego once to tell you something else! You’ve taught an old dog……..thanks
Love the Haters portion ha!ha!....... Come to Alaska during the winter !!! I've seen light bars on everything , Hard Hats , bicycles , Mini Van's, and a few Subaru's with them mounted right in the middle of the hood lol ......... Oh but you know you also can never have to many either , you evidently need them for fog lights , at least one the bumper , some in the grill , a great big 60" on the top of the cab and don't forget about back up lights!!!! lol ........ all for a daily commute on a populated 2 lane highway!!! Oh by the way don't forget to upgrade those boring factory head lights to HID's !!!! By the way, that boat turned out really nice !!!!
This video is the one that does it best, even tb nation and Anthony’s videos all bring a confusion aspect to it all This is through and through understandable and great work
Fine job on the wiring. Agree with the statement about NOT grounding the electrical thru the hull but it has nothing to do with electrolysis, if any of your hot wires rub thru the insulation then you have a direct short with a potential for a fire if no circuit protection. Seen it happen.
Great work, all looks very professional and very clearly explained. I would have put each sump pump on it's own fuse not wired together. This way if one sump blows a fuse you will still have the other. This may not be necessary but, gives an extra layer of safety. Thanks for posting such a pro video.
Jon boats are so easy to rewire. I’m jealous as hell. I have to cut multiple access holes and buy inspection hatches just to find the wires in my old foam filled center console Henry O
All the info you taught in this video, I already knew/have learned. The jokes kept me watching, and the Scooters Corner segment made me sub. Lmao This is awesome.
I’m glad I found your channel. Is there one explaining what size wires and fuses to use? That’s where I’m lost at. This video gave me more confidence though to do it myself. All I’m wiring is two garmin units w a dedicated battery
Great vedio. One thought to consider is a 40 or 50 amp auto breaker at the battery on the main power supply wire. If damaged that wire will melt as is. Breaker would protect wire and boat. Love your vedios.
Great video's man. I ran across your channel today & got to be honest I'm cracking up with all the Scooter comments. My son loves the Spaghetti Cake comment so much that he's now calling bologna hotdog pancakes. Great content, Keep up the great work.
Great info. Thanks fir explaining the difference between marine wire and automotive wire. All this time I thought I was just being ripped off. I really like the battery disconnect switch: I need it install one on my duck boat.
I thought the same thing for years until I actually researched it, and then experienced some wire issues myself from using automotive wire. The battery disconnect is awesome, and not expensive either.
@@SendItJonBoats yea man thanks fir this video I enjoyed the information. Not to be a scooter but thanks fir everything you’ve taught me here. Fir the first time I actually understand how to wire up everything fir my boat. Fir the record I think ur boat is awesome it’s a perfect boat fir gettin out on the water and fir havin a good time. I think I speak fir everyone when I say this keep up the good content.
The wiring is good quality so I am not worried about it and the rivers I use this boat in are about 6 inches deep... so I am not super worried about sinking if they go out.
Hope you see this soon! What are the wires (size and everything) at 11:26, I’m trying to find those wires right now for my project I’m working on. Thank You
Great tips. Very clean results. Those green manjamas were awesome 😃. I like to use to use that adapter piece (Reflector Nozzle) that fits on the end of the heat gun to concentrate the hot air on the splice, it also helps to save you from toasting adjacent wires or overheating the insulation on the wires you are splicing. I couldn't tell if your heat shrink was marine grade , I use the marine stuff it has a built in sealer. See you on the next one!
The care bear onsie is awesome! LOL I forgot to order some marine heat shrink, so I just used the regular stuff since the rest of the connectors had the sealer in it.
Great video! I have 30-year-old marine wire on my old boat, it still works. The previous owner did all the Chartplotter wiring with normal wires, 2 years later it all failed and roasted the Chartplotter. Always use marine-grade electrical components and wiring.
"Scooter"........ funny and deserved. Stumbled upon your channel, like it, subed it. Fellow Jon Boat owner, good vid and info, looking forward to scrolling your vid library. "Old School Intro"....... hilaroius. Thanks for the vid, keep up the good work.
Awesome video man, literally watching it as I wire my boat so I don't screw up lol first time wiring anything 😂 thank you again, this was huge amounts of help
25:30 I would add some silicone on both ends of the heatshrink tubing after that. It will prevent corrosion from taking place and your connection should last two or 3 times longer.

Well done! Finally someone who parallel connects two 12 volt batteries correctly.
Thanks Patrik
Hey, mind telling me what gauge wire you’d recommend using for paralleling the two batteries? Thanks
@@davidgodfrey7560 I would just take the same gauge that comes to/from the batteries.

Its like anal, the first time is always the worst, then it gets easier.
Wiring ain't hard once you understand the concepts.
This is hands down the best video out there for anyone looking to tackle their own electrical overhaul
Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed it.
I’m an electrician for homes and you did a fine job! Boat and automotive wiring is foreign to me. Great work man
Thank you sir! Appreciate you watching and glad you enjoyed it.
Does the Copper tinned cable allow increased current carrying capacity?
@@NICHOLASBYRNE3931no, if anything it adds slight resistance but nothing that would change the amp rating of the wire. Tinned is just good to protect from corrosion.

You can do it! It is much easier than it looks.
My kid of guys here about time someone smart got on TH-cam telling folks who's boss thanks bud keep up the hard work I love it

Awesome video! I have never messed with this kind of project before. Im not bitching! You taught me something and my kid thinks Im a genius. Thank You
Always nice to have your kids believe that you are a genius!

Why do folks need to criticize?? I just click off the video if I don’t like it. I watch all your content from start to end. Nice work sir.

Welcome!! glad you are enjoying the videos.
Ever try Liquid tape when I get done shrink wrapping wire I’ll put that on for extra measure works really good
Yeah I have done that in the past but with marine wire I dont worry about it too much,
Excellent video! Give or take, how much 16g wire would I need for a 20 ft boat please?
A bunch, probably 100ft depends on what all you are wiring.
25:30 I would add some silicone on both ends of the heatshrink tubing after that. It will prevent corrosion from taking place and your connection should last two or 3 times longer.
