It's been a joy watching the build. So now that you adding the finishing touched can you list the materials being used. I'm really digging the wiring !
That’s a lovely wiring install. Clearly takes a lot of pride in his work.
Love electrical work and the artistry of design when done right!
Super clean setup! I just installed those ULTRA Float switches on my bilge. Previous owner had used cable lamp and twisted the ends together with some duct tape. To say I was shocked is an understatement 🤦♂️
Clean project guys!! Looking good 👍
Very nice job Mike! That's a great looking boat, we're grateful to to have been part of this awesome project!
Very neat and tidy. Your electrician and mine must have went to the same school. My electrician wired my main power distribution panel the same way. Every stick of conduit in my shop was installed with a level, even in the attic. That wire crimper is similar to one I purchased for use on the Public Transit Buses here in Hillsborough County years ago. And the heat shrink tubing with the adhesive/sealant on the inside searls the terminal ends preventing corrosion. I have a small version hand crimper made for crimping my Anderson Power Pole connectors.that I use in my marine related projects. It crimp 15/30/45 amp terminals and they all will fit in the same housing. I love that system.
I have the Minn Kota Riptide 80 lb 24 volt trolling motor with (Spot Lock) on my 17ft. Scout Sport 177 flats boat. Minn Kota offers bigger thrust and higher voltage i.e. 36 volt units for larger boats like yours. I love the Spot Lock feature on my trolling motor.
You have a DREAM MACHINE. Can't wait to see you on the water with it.
John
Thanks John! One thing I couldn't skimp out on was a good wiring job. I can save a bit in other areas, but this aspect was very important to me.
Corey is amazing!! Just beautiful work bro.....!!
looking great .. and clean is a understatement
what a beautiful work he did ! this boat is a fishing machine no question about the top to complete the job and protect you and the from the elements (my opinion ) i watched every step of the way great videos as always
Beautiful work!
Thats the way a wiring job should look, everything parallel and the shortest run on top or bottom ( if your break away is up or down ) then next shortest, etc. Keeping all wires tight together and well secured in place. I have to admit that I'm an overkill nut, I overkill everything, wiring included. If it calls for 14ga. I use 12ga. and so on, can't help miself. The things doing electrical work that I don't overkill is breakers or fuses ! The boat is coming along very well, you should be very proud Capt. Mike !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm very happy with the wiring. I got lucky Cory is local.
Looks fantastic!! Would be nice if everybody put pride in there work!!
Seriously impressed- it really is art
Brilliant! beautiful and clean!
Dude does some KILLER wiring! Great job !
wow, nice. love the control panel wiring too!
I'm considering ordering a LTB Boat as well, These videos are great for giving me ideas on how to wire everything etc if I pull the trigger. I want to downsize from my 29 center console so I have something easier to trailer and less maintenance. Thanks for the videos Mike.
Good luck David. So far so good. We will have her on the water testing difference scenarios soon.
Super clean!
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous.
I have really been enjoying this video series. I find it very interesting. And wow what and awesome job Corey did with the wiring.
Glad to hear, it has been long series and we still have more coming!
Corey is excellent at his work...We need him here in Nashville TN for sure!!!!
Been watching so many fishing RUclipsrs, the last couple of years, and somehow just stumbled on your videos! Currently looking to purchase my first boat love them information and content and keep it up!👍
Cory! Great job man!!!
Cot. Mike ,lookin very pretty and neat. Very impressive glad to see people still take pride in their work.
very nice looking job.... I like the console looks super nice!!
Wow looking great! Great video! Any info on the gray wiring used? Usually see the ancor flat wiring. Those junction boxes and water seal connections are beautiful! Also make sure to show the finished CNC switch/breaker box he kept showing !
Legit wire work!!
WOW... That is ART !!!!!!
Best part of the build so far.
Looking super clean Capt
Thank you
So informative thank you for the video
Great video!!
Really nice and clean installation, I said hi from Panamá 🇵🇦
All respect to you and those who does this kind of jobs in a professional way that please the eyes
Excellent wiring job nice and neat. You can see he takes pride in his work. One thing I would suggest is lithium ion battery battleborn are very good batteries. They are pricey but do the math on them you can't go wrong 10 year warranty. Enjoy your boat stay safe
Cory is killing it, clean work! I wish the dealer would’ve done this for my boat!!
Ain't that the truth.
You got the right guy quality work
Beautiful!
Thanks Eric
awesome job.
I am really impress
That is perfection.
Damn good job on that wiring, true craftsmanship on display there my man!! That butane torch was the ticket too, never found one that would light that easily.
I learned a ton from watching him work, hope you did too.
You are putting the money were it counts those batteries are awsome. I am going to get a couple its time great video...
Looks clean and tight. Awesome job! This totally appeals to my meticulous nature. I used to work on aircraft wiring harnesses. I see the beauty here. So, I see the batteries are at deck level on an open center console (wet boat) and not in sealed battery boxes. Is that kosher? I realize they are AGMs so they don't need leak protection but they seem exposed and low to me.
Sick rigging 🔥
Seriously professional wiring! My buddy just got his boat re powered and they took out a basketball sized chunk of wire that went to nowhere.
pride of workmanship.
Looking good 👍👍
Beautiful work! - Piece of art. I feel you on the comment about zip ties!
I know good work when I see it, and that is a job well done - indeed.
Awesome job!! Would you please share the overload breaker sizes used for the various circuits? Audio w/amplifier, house, starter, etc.?
Nice job captain Mike !!! Your wiring seems like those perfect hospital machines! Is the acr battery combiner enough for your mercury verado ? It’s the small one with 65A ?
11:44 yooooo that crimper. BALLIN!
great vid
Super clean! That tarp made for a perfect diffuser too lol
You ready to fish?!
@@ReelReports u know it!
The more I watch this video I am hiring this guy to do my wiring if I order one of these boats :-)
Great video - what torch was used for the connections and heat-shrink? Thank you
Nice Job.. This guy doing the work rocks...Very hard to find someone that takes pride in what they do.... and not just wanting to screw you out of $$$.
nice work, capt like a told you take your time think everything good before take a act✌🏻
That's it, we ain't in no rush around here at this point, but i'm ready to start fishing soon!
Really an art
Nice work. Did he learn his craft in the military? I also like simple, utilitarian. Less is more.
looks great - where did you go to get the panel and wiring? I'm looking to rewire my boat and looking at options.
Really Amazing 🙂 wairing
Nice job!! They are lucky they got the whole switch panel and other parts pre-wired. Still a lot of work though!
Nice!
It's so rare that I see anyone that can do wiring and installation up to my standards but this blows me away. Electric crimper is some next level stuff also I've never seen a stripper like that what is it?
Thank you! The cable stripper I use is made by Phoenix Contact - Wirefox D40
Love me some pretty wires!
💯
Super neat. My boat is spaghetti nest of wiring right now. Makes me want to rip it all out and start over.
It doesn't matter what business you have. It's always nice to see when someone does a job with passion. I mean, it looks like Art, doesn´t it?
Hey mike, nice job on the boat. I doing something similar I would appreciate if you can answer a few questions I have. What type of battery terminal are those? What type of switches are you using? And if they are resettable? And the length and width of the switch panel? Thanks
What kind of float switches are those? Very clean job. Good work
I am considering moving the stating battery from the stern to center console, what gauge wire is needed for a 15' run?
Hey man that's an awesome job love how clean everything looks now iam doing my 21' contender new everything gutted out and just stuck on price what something like that you did cost looking for quotes and dont know much of boats so not sure what something like that runs about and plus iam doing it stages did all new fiberglass now is components and wiring all new
Awesome
Wiring looks great!!!Nothing like clean and simple. One of the most rewarding projects I did on my boat was my rewire with new switches and acrylic panel. It took me about a week to finish but made such a huge difference.
I love the way the switch panel came out. It is also up front and center so easy to find the switches fast.
Hey Mike boat looks awesome. I remember your competition was pretty loaded, what made you go for a whole new boat vs repower? Is the new layout significantly different?
That forward live well drew me in.
Looks fantastic. Why grey and black for DC negative instead of yellow? Is there a practical reason or you don’t like yellow?
Forget about the top and the trolling motor for know. that silver interior last week looked amazing...
THat's what I'm thinking. We have a budget and can always add that stuff later.
Nice job! Would you mind to share the place where the switch panel was made? Thanks!
I use the Lifeline batteries in my boat as well and they're the best. When my boats on the trailer at home I keep a Battery Tender hooked up to it and I get 8 years of service out of them.
I told Cory I wanted the best batteries and these are what he chose. If you do the math, they end up being cheaper over time vs a standard battery.
Can you explain what a battery tender is?
What fuse panels did you use? Love the work very tidy ❤
Looks awesome! Wondering what kind of bilge pump float switches that you’re using?
Ultra Bilge Pump Switch. Pretty nice, had them on my last boat with no issues.
Top notch workmanship. well designed system. Question: Why did you not use yellow for your ground wires?
Bro this guys cut zero corners. U can tell he does things right!
Hell ya!
Hola buenos días, Saludos desde 🇨🇷👍Costa Rica🇨🇷 pura vida una consulta para hacer la instalación de el sistema eléctrico del bote. dnd lo compraste o ya lo venden todo el kit solo para llegar e instalar mi bote mide 23 pies, que me recomiendas para hacer toda la instalación, gracias 👍🤙
What did you use to hang the cable on the wall?
I’m in the process of out fitting a new boat but cost has become an issue with layoffs due to COVID, so it’s become something I’ve been having to do a little at a time or trying to tackle it myself. If I may ask what was the cost of having this company do this wiring job?
Could you provide a link to the primary wire in the grey insulation that's being used throughout?
Greetings from Portugal, I am extremely OCD with wiring, usually when I see someone doing wiring I start to scratch myself in agony with their job, this was the firs time I was completely relax and admiring that awesome wiring job. Cory is better than me, damn I have to step um my game. Cheers.
Clean
What did you use to make that box with ACR, switch and breakers?
What do you use to hold those zip tie holders on?
Beautiful, well thought out work! Looks great.
1:35 - Why is the washdown pump so low in the bilge? They are splash resistant, but really don't like getting wet or being immersed. I strongly recommend moving higher up if you want it to last longer. I've made that suggestion to a number of friends, and several said they stopped having to replace them every couple of years after getting them higher.
Just trying to be helpful. Beautiful work!
There is quite a bit of clearance between the pump and bilge floor, looks lower than it really is. They are sealed units and carry a 3 year warranty. We also give them several coats of a clear sealer which greatly increases service life.
Corey,
That makes sense, as video cameras tend to distort perspective.
You do beautiful work, by the way!
Waoooo nice job buddy.
Definitely trolling motor!!! Anchor lock is key.
I do so much drifting that I'm not sure I would use it too often, but it sure would be nice inshore.
What is he using to hold the cables in place. I have been trying to find out what the cable holders for zip ties are called..
Would you mind telling me what crimp tool you were using on the battery lugs? It looks like the Milwaukee short throw press tool. What dies are you using ?
Art
Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What kind of trolling motor would work on a 25' boat like that? Is a 60" shaft enough?
What was that torch? I'm looking to buy one.
