Your doing exactly what I plan on doing to my boat and that is replacing and updating my fuse panel on my boat with a more conventional blade style fuse panel, my boat has the old round fuse setup and those are not as cheap compared to the blade style fuse. I so wish i lived down in Georgia or Florida so i could work on boats and also fix them and not have to deal with extreme cold or snow and ice like we get here in Indiana. I am a truck driver but wiring is something that i enjoy doing.
Cool, yea the cold makes it no fun. I will be finishing up the electrical before much longer and will do another video on the completed project. As you can tell, I moved them all to the inside. Much better and not exposed to the weather as much. I am very happy with how it is turning out.
Yes in the store hiding under the brushes was the subscribe sign👍😁 It's always great to get an update from you. As always thanks for sharing the videos with us Mike
Thanks Kevin but you are a little to late. Make sure you have the bell notification turned on so you have a better chance of winning. Thanks for watching.
You are correct sir and are the first. The person below is a Mug Club member and has access to videos 24 hours ahead. Send me a email with your address to mike@michaeljaysteen.com and I will get the koozie out to you in the mail.
When I build go karts I try to run my electrical inside the frame tubes. What I do is run a piece of stiff wire then pull my wires through. But with my wires I also pull a fishing line along with the wire so in the future I have a pull wire for more wires! Thanks for the videos!
Instead of connecting your main D/C terminals to the battery you could connect them to the battery selector switch to allow a cleaner battery and a master shutoff closer to the battery. Keep up the good work Mike!
Thanks Captain John. I do plan on doing this when I get to setting everything up in that area. This was just to get power on the panel to start work. I will mention your comment in the next QA. Others do need to know that.
Mike, this old girl is starting to come together! I’m enjoying these videos!!! I can’t wait to see how you redesign the interior of the cabin. Great stuff Mike!!!
you are correct sir but a little to late. Make sure you have the bell notification turned on so you have a better chance of winning. Thanks for watching.
Just wanted to give a small tip. I'm a retired master auto tech that's enjoying your videos. Then you pre drilled to run the screw to hold the schedule 80 up , don't use a screw with a point on it. The movement of the wire could possibly cause the wire to chaff on the pointed tip especially on waves causing movement. Instead run a stainless bolt and nut to secure it just long enough to hold up the pipe. If the bolt is a little longer put a rubber vacuum cap on the end of the bolt. Best of luck.
Mike, I have no criticism only suggestions. Instead of shrink tubing why not try liquid electric tape it gives better seals against moisture and corrosion. When I see channel locks I think of busted knuckles and chewed nuts?..Getting ready for the next loop with you!
Slick I will look into it. I haven't ever used it. I keep those in my little personal bag as I call it. Those are the most used tool I have. They are super useable tool for me. Also you probably saw me use them on the battery? I will be switching those to wing nuts as you know in a emergency, you don't have time to look for a tool. The batteries didn't come with them.
That snake prank was too funny, missed the subscribe sign this time but I'm gonna get it next time! I am really excited to see how you do cabinets and storage. The plus of this old boat is the ability to customize with new things when you pull the old things. Also can't wait to see what you do as far as appliances. It feels like there are so many different ways to go as far as size, how you power them, and where you put them. Great video, keep it up Captain!
Thanks Trev. You gong to love about the 3rd video from now what I will be putting in there, a apartment size refrigerator. Also you are 100% correct on restoring the old to new. I will order a new radio new week for her. $600 and some change. Since I got her so cheap I can splurge on some stuff inside. :)
Enjoying the series. Growing up we had a 2150 Ciera with a 305 and volvo penta outdrive. Definitely underpowered. What are your plans for the powerplant?
I am stepping her up to the 350 and switching from a OMC outdrive to the a SEI as they make a kit to convert it. It is identical to the Mercruisers outdrive.
Save yourself some grief later. Get the proper Terminal strips and mount near the Starter battery on some sort of panel plate. One for POS and one for NEG. Then only one wire to each Battery Terminal. Same for the House battery AND DON"T FORGET THE BREAKER within 12 inches of the Battery POS . only wire that are not on the breaker is the Starter motor wire. Same for the sump pump on the House Battery.
Cant wait to see you finish the loop!
Thanks, Mike, it is going to be a Goood Tiiimmmeee.

Very good point. In fact I often do that and will on the next pull I do in it. I will mention this comment in the next QA. Thanks for commenting.

Saw the like/subcribe sign below the brushes at West marine.
Correct but you are a little to late. Make sure you have the bell notification turned on so you have a better chance of winning. Thanks for watching.
Mike, this series is very enjoyable and informative so far. A lot of us out here are pulling for you, as you bring this lady back to life!
Larry in NC
Thanks Larry, I hope to make you guys proud of the end product. Thanks for coming along on this journey.
You are a prankster! 😇😂

That is a very good point. I have some vaccum cap tips. I will put one over it. Thanks for the comment.
Always enjoyable to watch and now I have an Idea to scare the wife and daughter:)
haha, I love it.

Hows your fuel tank now is a good time to check for leaks…
It is bad, the owner before me put a fuel tank in the aft cabin. Stupid for sure. I will be removing that one and changing out the old tank.
Looking good buddy is there anybody in your area that will rebuild a boat motor
Yes down in Ft. Lauderdale. I will be doing another video about when I pull the motor and take it down. Stay tuned, it is a great shop.
@@CaptainMike1965 I will definitely stay tuned I may bring my motor down there for them to rebuild

Whats running when you installing electric buss
Captain are you referring to the light. I think that is the only thing tied in now.
@whfd15 no, something is running in back ground, sounds like a motor.
Regular automotive wire does not hold up to corrosion either…
for sure.
Subscribe sign under brushes in store....and snake in fridge. Gotcha. 😂😂
Correct but you are a little to late. Make sure you have the bell notification turned on so you have a better chance of winning. Thanks for watching.
How tall are you? I looked at 1 of these but feared at 6'4" i couldn't stand up straight below deck.
No I don't think you could, I am 6'. I can only stand there at the galley/head area.
Me walking into WestMarine: Man, I can't wait to get some new goodies!
Me walking out of WestMarine: Man, I'm way too cheap to be boating!
🤣🤣
haha it ain't cheap to be a boater for sure. It's why I do all things myself.
West Marine is a Rip Off..so is most of boating
for sure but when you have a gift card....
