HOW TO WIRE A BOAT -Right way, right tools-

Do it right or don't do it at all!! We will discuss the best tools and techniques to use, the best wire and products you should be using.
Anything made by #blueseasystems is my go to! My #boatlife people will understand. Use the correct marine grade wire, Ancor is the best in my opinion. Make sure your using the proper gauge wire, a fire on a boat is terrifying. Below are some links to the tools I use in this video.

JFYI for sanity later... Crimp then PULL test, THEN Shrink every single one! Always one that didn't crimp Properly! That 2 into one butt slice isn't a good idea either. Never find one in a factory wire job. 👍

Would you ever recommend putting your nav lights and anchor light on a 3way switch so you can have the nav lights or anchor light on

[@HoldFastMarine]

Oh yes absolutely. I just prefer to have the anchor light on a separate switch.

[@TheRoostersGarage]

Your wire looks way undersized to fuse with a 100 amp breaker. Did you use an ABYC ampacity guide?

[@HoldFastMarine]

Sure did.

[@jonathanpassaro228]

Wherebwere all your positive ends going? I seen you had a negative bus bar but i didnt see positive end going to someone like a fuse box

[@HoldFastMarine]

It’s there.

[@bobfleury]

[@Electronzap]

Cheers Warren

[@HoldFastMarine]

[@bertbuchanan4198]

Thanks. Do you use Brother heat shrink or the cheaper stuff off Amazon?

[@HoldFastMarine]

@@bertbuchanan4198 the brother stuff. I don’t buy anything cheap or off brand.

[@DerekMurawsky]

How about a battery isolator to keep both batteries charging, separate from the battery switch?

[@HoldFastMarine]

Sure you could run that.
