JON BOAT WIRING - Basic Diagram (2021) DIY

Wiring your jon boat can seem intimidating but today's episode of Flip My Jon Boat will walk you through the basic layout of how to wire a jon boat. We will start with the battery then work our way through the kill switch, fuse box, switch panel, then out to the accessories like bilge pumps, fish finders, and navigation lights.
This basic diagram will serve as a reference for future wiring videos on Flip My Jon Boat.

Thank you so much man… I’ve been looking at so so many videos looking for someone to have something like this and I finally found it. That diagram is all I need to finally understand how to wire my boat.

Absolute banger! 🔥

[@crambow]

Dang you never made another video in the wiring series... :(

[@GulfCoastRuss]

I see some people put a fuse after the battery switch before the fuse block. Is it needed ?

[@markelam8241]

Great first step. Any plans for the follow up videos?

[@clayking9710]

Great Video, I'm about to do the same. Is this setup still working out ? And what size wire did you use from the battery to the fuse panel... thanks

[@FishOn87]

It might be a bit late but the wire they recommend is 8AWG

[@rescuereadyroadsidellc5938]

Now does anyone know if i tie in my troller motor or should that be on a separate battery?

[@emcardleinvest]

Nice video

[@FaZe_Lopez]

Yes sir coach, coming out with bangers!!!

[@flipmyjonboat4485]

Let’s goooo! Thanks Francisco!!!

[@buckreynolds1779]

thanks man

[@Mike-es5fj]

I know you posted this a year ago but I want to be clear. You ran 6 gauge from the battery to your kill switch then 14 gauge from the kill switch to the fuse box and then from there to the switch panel and then to the accessories? Just 6 and 14 gauges were used?

[@lukewolfgang5002]

Clean info and video

[@flipmyjonboat4485]

Thank you for the compliment!

[@huntergullett2863]

Are you running 6awg wire from the on/off switch to the fuse box? Surely a single 14awg wire cannot support the entire fuse box, or can it?

[@cgunz2928]

Can you use a 6 way fuse block with a 6 gang switch panel? I only plan to run nav lights, flood lights and a depth finder/gps.

[@rewind596]

actually yah i am

[@grant1109]

Do you need any inline fuses?

[@flipmyjonboat4485]

It really depends on what you’re wiring. You could run one from the battery to the kill switch if you wanted. If you’re running one straight from a trolling motor to the battery, you should (if it doesn’t come with one). But the fuse box, depending on the amps, should take care of needing to run inline fuses for the most part. DISCLAIMER like in the video, I’m not a licensed electrician! Check with one if you’re feeling uncomfortable and/or need more help.

[@grant1109]

@@flipmyjonboat4485 I’ll be wiring the same way you did. Battery >kill switch> fuse block > switch panel > accessories

[@miken7452]

Where is bus bar in picture

[@GulfCoastRuss]

Top is a neg block .

[@redrumck81]

You didn't fuse out each device. This makes no sense

[@tintdr]

He has a fuse panel! They will all be fused
