Nice Job! Would that set up work similar on a vehicle? And if so what type of switch do you use? Thanks Bud. I have a parasitic draw and I’m hoping that something like this would work.
It would. When I was in the Navy, all our our CESE vehicles had cutoffs. Modern vehicles may not like it with all the electronics, but something from the early 2000’s would probably be ok.
Anywhere on the negative cable. Find a spot to mount it. Get creative. There’s other cutoff switches out there - look it up for motorcycles. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching 🇺🇸🤘
You know, I learned in Navy mechanic school to always cut off the negative. There’s a better chance of a circuit catching a ground somewhere than a hot lead. It’s the better bet that the circuit will remain open when you want it to. Hope that makes sense. Sometimes I’ll cut off the hot side if it’s easier to do. Thank you for watching 🇺🇸🤘
That switch is crap. Can lose the key, or it can break, and if any water gets in, the switch will rust and lock up. There are better alternates. I learned that lesson the hard way. I replaced it with a more water tight swtich.
I usually have 2 keys just in case. I park my tractors inside too - so rusting isn’t as much of a problem. A more water tight switch would be better in the long run for sure though.
Well done. Finally a solid explanation.
Thank you! 🇺🇸🤘
Simple and straight to the point! Good Job!
Thanks man! 🇺🇸🤘
Hey brother, former CM2 here. Definitely subbing.
CM2 here as well. I appreciate it brother Bee! 🇺🇸🤘

Thanks Jimmy! My 86 F150 keeps draining the battery, not sure why 😕
I have these on all my tractors and plow truck. It’s a must.
I have a motorcycle battery. Where would I install the 2 wires in this case?

I have identical mower. It always ran good. I'm thinking of doing it. 🤔
It certainly helps. Also put in new fuel lines and a shut off valve. Better for winter/long term storage 🇺🇸🤘
Great tutorial
Thanks man! 🇺🇸🤘
That’s a winner:-))
I’m telling you - they should come standard. 🇺🇸🤘
Where would l buy this device?
I get them on eBay, or Harbor Freight. Just look online - you’ll find one.
@@jimmysgarage9068 Thank you!
Why not the hot side?

Because you can't have a circuit without a ground.

Hoorah brother! 🤘🇺🇸
Bit rough on the hole there buddy 😒
True! It’s covered up though. No biggie. Thank you for watching 🇺🇸🤘
