No more fuses for me only breakers on my accessories very nicely done.thank you for your videos i hope i. Pass by Louisiana one day and i can look at it .
Wiring is somewhat enjoyable to me. It's satisfying when you create a plan of attack and when done it works. Watching and looking at your wiring I can see that I still have more to do on my project boat. I also use the Blue Sea ACR for my batteries. There is a kit... Add-A-Battery by Blue Sea that is idiot proof to install. Does just what you created. Gone are those old Perko battery switches (1, 2, 1+2). If anyone wants my old Perko it's yours!
Howe I didn't know about the kit but I had the solenoid (who knows from where). I did spend a few hours adding the lights but I think it will be time well spent. Thanks for watching! Barry
Electrical is my second favorite part of a project. Like painting (my no. 1) it is a lobor intensive exercize with immeadiate reward if done correctly and instant reprecussions (no idea how to spell that) if done incorrectly! Thank you for another great video sir!
Kirk Thank you for watching and commenting. I do enjoy electrical work as it is very predictable and should be straight forward. I don't like painting. Barry
Continue to enjoy your videos as you progress towards launching your beauty. I noticed you have Evinrude gauges meaning you bought anETEC. The experience of ETEC users in our harbor is mixed. All their problems stem from contaminated fuel (water intrusion) disabling their sensitive high pressure fuel injection components. I recommend that you install an extremely robust external fuel filtering system that traps water before the fuel reaches the internal pumps and injectors of the engine. Also, adding fuel stabilizer seems to be helpful. Being on the ocean our fuel suppliers are notoriously prone to have water in their tanks. Otherwise the engines are extremely efficient, strong and should last well.good luck
Chuck Thanks for the tip! I do have a remote fuel water/separator mounted on the inside of the transom. I will be sure to change it often. Glad you are enjoying the progress and thanks for watching. PS Just picked up 20 gallons of ethanol free to get started with. Barry
I hear where you are coming from. I wire like I am going to be the fool repairing it as normally I am! So to do that I put 'maintenance loops' in every connection. I have worked on and seen way to many super neat jobs where the wiring is direct point to point all nice a parallel and fastened down. Great unless you have to change out a connection or replace something which isn't the same in its terminal design as the old unit. I use military surplus switches which are military spec and make up my own panels as a matter of course using 12 volt breakers not fuses in every circuit also military spec. a lot are aviation which are even better. I find them in Surplus Supply or other such web sights nowadays. Nice job.
Douglas Thanks for watching and thanks for the tips. Nobody can say I didn't leave a little slack in my wiring job! Especially at all of the pump connections which will defiantly need regular service and replacement. I don't have the number of years of experience that you have but I have had breakers fail and a fuse is just a fuse, so for me it's fuses. Thanks Barry
Bill It may seem scary but the blade just goes up and down, it will never grab and pull your hand towards the blade. That is assuming you don't put your hand where it should not be put! Thanks Barry
Absolutely amazing, it is a lot for a one man army and it looks great, I wish I can help you but the credit is all yours, congrats on your project, unfortunately it is almost done. Looking forward to see it in the water though 😀
Thanks MN! Glad you have enjoyed. Not sure about "shoot jab", I am sure it is just a couple of words that I butchered. Where in the video did the butchering take place? Barry
Have you tried the new heat shrink with solder in them. Just use the same heat as you would normally use to shrink the tubing and voila solder and heat shrink all at once.
@@barrylukebuilds7894 They aren't that bad price wise. You knew about the crimp connectors with sealant in the shrink tube already attached? Recommended for marine use. The super low melting solder in these other crimp ones seems a winner.
Now hook up the trailer and take it for a spin for about an hour. Hit every pothole you can find and then check every electrical connection. The only time I've had any issues offshore was due to poor connections or a bad battery switch. Also I did not see any battery straps. I think you will be fishing before mid summer.
Tim This is Louisiana so finding potholes shouldn't be a problem. Battery straps are a definite! Hope you are correct on the finish date, although are these projects ever really finished? Barry
PS: Even though it is not recommended by the authorities I solder every connector. In almost seventy years of boating I have never seen a properly soldered connector fail while I have seen a large number of crimped ones corrode up under the crimp and fail. As a matter of fact almost all wiring done that way even with tinned wire fails after time in salt water environment. By soldering and shrink wrapping with the sealant inside the shrink wrap I have run twenty years and more with no problem.
Doug You are probably correct in that a proper solder job is superior. I soldered a hand full of small wires that just don't do well in the crimp connectors. Barry
Shes looking good Barry that starter solenoid system is genius man. Wont be long you'll be sea trialing her.
Thanks Bud! Wont be long, wont be long, wont be long......
Great work! I am going to start re wiring my console. Hope it comes out as good as yours!!
Thank you Richard! Good luck on your project, hope it goes well.
Barry
Great work Barry. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Thank you Ante! You made my morning.
Barry
Awesome Barry
Can't wait to see you in the water
Excellent work
Ricardo
Thank you for the kind words.
Launching soon!
Barry
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this build.

Thanks for the comment and I am glad you have enjoyed the journey!

Welcome any time.

You’re a talent Sr ! 👍
Richard, thanks for the kudos!
Started out my day on a positive note.

Hey Barry great idea man , I'm diggin your video, s and learning something along the way .
KF
Thanks for the positive comment!
Glad you enjoyed.

Grate Video thanks ,You are progresing nice!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Barry
Nice progress Barry
Thank you Romario!

Thank you Chugaaa, whoever or whatever you are!
If it doesn't stop raining the launch might come sooner than expected.
Barry
Nice work! 👌🏻
Parker
Thank You!

Nice work once again. Thanks for bringing it to TH-cam. Now if you would, what exactly is the meaning of "shoot jab" ?
Thanks MN! Glad you have enjoyed. Not sure about "shoot jab", I am sure it is just a couple of words that I butchered. Where in the video did the butchering take place?
Barry
Have you tried the new heat shrink with solder in them. Just use the same heat as you would normally use to shrink the tubing and voila solder and heat shrink all at once.
Just the crimp on connectors with the heat shrink insulation are new to me. The solder connectors will have to wait a couple of years.
