Wow! I feel like I just finish a 2yr electrical class! Finally hands down the best description! Everyone else on KZread talks a lot and no information! They just say I run the wire like this and like that but doesn’t explain anything about bus, fuse, batteries! Thanks bro!

Thanks ! I’m glad you liked the video and it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it..
In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzread.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.
By far the best explanation I could find on KZread, for real. Thank you taking the time to set this all up on a sheet of wood, really helps understand this so much better. I am about to re-wire a used boat I just bought and being a newbie this was very helpful. Cheers!
by far one of the best visual explanation on boat wiring with a battery switch/bus bar!!! Thank you sir!!!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Your explanation is excellent as usual and now I have the confidence of at least knowing what the batteries are doing and more importantly which one was my flat cranking battery which needs replacing I think. Now I can look forward to getting it all fixed up and will be able to follow what the electrician is talking about. Cheers Jason. Have a good day mate.

Great out of vehicle demonstration. From all the videos I have seen very good videos however this gives me confidence that I'm on the right track. Thank you as what you have done can easily be understood and is set up to maximize pleasure and more chances to save your life . That whole set up using the best marine supplies is relatively cheap and can be done by a person that is willing to correctly make the cables snake it through the safe and proper areas. Thanks Bro!!!

Very well explained, simple but to the point and informative. I'm not afraid to re-wire my pontoon now - baby steps - thanks for the video
Have to agree with others this is the best explanation of how to set up your batteries with bus bars & fuse block. So helpful and easy to understand thank you!
This is exactly what I was after! Just got a new project with absolutely no power on it, need to build a brand new system for lights, nav etc! This video is helpful
Time has come to upgrade battery’s and thankfully found someone who took the time to explain everything, I was worried if I could mix a cranking with a deep cycle and you’ve answered my question thank you so much

This video is what KZread should be all about. Bloody awesome explanation 👏
I just bought an 1987 Glasstream bass boat and the guy did a lot of new wiring and he did a nice job, in fact that same fuse box you showed us. Which I learned from your video to connect my fish finder, and some usb chargers, I definitely want to do this battery set up. Excellent video and well done, I am confident with your video I can do this, thank you again.
By far most helpful boat wiring vid on youtube! 👌
Very good explanation. I just got my first boat and the guy that had it before me just had a mess with cables running everywhere and nowhere. I want to rewire everything and make it clean. This helped a ton. Thank you!

This video is great! Is there any chance you would turn this into a multi-part series? I would love to see how you add an isolator and charging system to this and explain how those work using the board you have created here. I know you have a couple other videos where you're adding those to your boat, but this makes it so much easier to see and understand how everything comes together. Thanks!
