- Heya, crew! Today we decided to revamp our dashboard in the cabin. We start by tearing out the old breaker panel. Then we build a new cover with an inset to receive the new BlueSeas breaker panel.

Excellent work as usual guys, thanks for another great video!
Nice work guys! The advantages are accessibility, visibility, and safety. 👍💖
Absolutely! The gauges need to be front and center for sure.
That switch panel job looks a good as you see on million dollar yachts!
Awesome install video - you make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing and tight lines! Captain Zac
Install a panel of hinged Plexiglass on the front to ensure that the breakers won't be accidentally tripped. Nifty thrifty workmanship guys.
Fitment and placement are really important. You mentioned they were also back lit. Back on the schooner Eldorado in the late 60's I run red lights for nighttime running on all my guages and panels.
Having them accessible during an emergency is key. Glad you're trying to over think all scenarios.
Love your channel might make a visit home in August or September.
I don't own anything mechanical, but I always check my fluid level every morning - especially coffee!
Great install!
Thanks, rk!
Really good work guys. And I know the look on the old man's face when you are satisfied with your work. Then you just consider the work an extra time or two.

A good suggestion might be to put a piece of plexiglass over the front of your switch panel
We'll definitely do that if we find ourselves bumping them. We tried to "accidently" switch them off a few times, its pretty difficult with the inset.
Maybe a clear piece of plexiglass with a piano hinge on one side so you could see tripped breakers and still provide inadvertent switch bumping.
We tried to purposely bump some of them off after install, you have to get way up in there to click them off. The inset is pretty far in to prevent it. If we do find that they still get bumped, the plexi on hinge is a great idea!
Thanks for the comment Alex!
Looks great guys!
Thanks, tenny!
Form follows function i always say! y'all are so logical and have tons of common sense!
kinda makes ya wonder what type of guy the previous owner was!!
can't wait to see the wheelhouse completed!
you'll be spoiled and have to redo the Fish Tale!!!
Great job 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers, Tony!
for complete safety for all the board try a simple plexiglass sliding door with a finger hole to open & close
As a class 1 driver for 26yrs, i always checked fluids before starting the motor in the morning, and once ive done for the day. Mid trips not so much, unless i noticed some change in pressures or leaks developed
good work guys
Maybe you can add a sliding glass/polycarbonate outside the panel . To always be protected from bumping also but in case of dropping water or a coffee mug maybe etc .
Yeah lets go fishing
A couple small hinges and some thin plywood would make a panel cover to make it impossible to bump a breaker in bad weather. 2 dollars.
They are inset pretty far, we tried to "accidently" bump them off, and its very hard to do so. They are up and in far enough. If we do find it to be an issue though, we'll certainly add a see-thru cover to prevent it.
YOU ARE AWSOME!!
So looking forward to that huge fish hold full of crab
More fishing please
Great work guys looking good.Quick question why not use some aluminum for some of you dash components? you do such great metal work. I figured you would be jigging for cod or rock fish at this time. Are we going to see some fishing soon on the Fishtail?
Good
Awesome work Guys.👍.
Breaker/toggle # 1= heated helm
How about a clear sheet of polycarbonate 3mm thick over the switch panel, for more protection?
Hello guys, can I suggest an open slot below the red main breaker , then the 20amp breaker below the gap. TY for the video's.
20 years ago it was baby Gorilla!

are you guys doing any more on your fishing?
I’ve got a couple of Cummins-branded 8D batteries that I’ve had on my boat as spares… year old, never used. Anything you could use?
That's a very kind offer, jeverich. I think we're ok on batteries for the moment. The shipping would probably be pretty exorbitant unless you're here in Kodiak.
How long do you think before you guys get back to fishing?
I've wondered that too.
My dad’s first boat sank because someone accidentally knocked the bilge pump switch to the off position and she was an old wood boat
Off topic of this vidoe but how often do you put shash weights
We clip sash weights on when we come up and down a sharp reef or edge. Helps with pulling the line down keeping it from "cloths lining" off the bottom.
@@EISAlaska thanks 👍
Greed, unlike fishing, is NOT at all sustainable.
As long as you allow TH-cam to assault your loyal viewers with 17,20,30,50+ second addsI will be disliking all your videos and your response comments.
I have been with you since your very first post on TH-cam and I really enjoy and love your family and content. That is why it is so wrong to attempt to extract every penny by way of the use of my time and your viewers time. We understand monetization is important for you. I'm merely asking to adjust the balance a bit. I want to rebinge watch your videos but the add time is too much.
You guys are awesome!!!! Please keep the awesome content and family fun coming. I look forward to every video you post. Love you guys!!!
We do appreciate the comment, feedback, and of course our loyal viewers!
We don't typically mess with ad placement much, TH-cam picks natural breaks in dialogue or action to pick ad placement, to do so manually would take quite some effort. We don't control duration of ads whatsoever. We do make sure videos aren't "overloaded" with ad breaks.
Again, thanks for the comment, we appreciate your support!
@EISAlaska I know TH-cam has most of the control. Just you responding so quickly is amazing and im grateful. I also know that you greatly appreciate us. You've shown that. Also, you guys have inspired my son and me. Hopefully we will be as successful. Hopefully we can work together as well as you guys.
Also, I apologize for being so brash. I've had my fill with TH-cam and their ever changing, complex rules. I kind of took it out on you and I'm sorry. I should have just asked instead of threaten. I'm so sorry. Love you guys!!!
@@Jjvv-m5s No worries! Best of luck to you and your son as well.
good job guys stay safe and healthy tell mom hi untill next video bye bye
Oh.. heck yes! Another video. it's coming along and looks nice. Love from Tennessee .
