    Excellent video for a mechanically stupid individual like myself. The only thing, which I could be wrong is the bps handle thing you said would face backwards. I believe (at least that is how we have always used the stock ones) are a grab bar of sorts like the pro drive bar but smaller when running the tiller left and right fast trying to get moving in super nasty shallow situations. Granted the newer ones like yours typically don't have much issue getting up and going but on my old 35 I've had to use that a good bit. Then again my boat is a damn barge and underpowered and heavy and it is location dependent. Correct me if I am wrong though, either way thanks for the in depth video brother.

    Should use Marine grade wire/cable. Marine grade is tinned to prevent corrosion due to the moisture. That' why strand wire goes bad so often on trailers and boats that don't use marine grade wire.

    The rear anchor light is way too short it needs to be above or taller than any person or object that is in the boat. Otherwise, a oncoming boat will not see the anchor light because someone sitting in the chair blocking it, or some other object in the boat, blocking it at night and you will get a run over my friend! And on top of it after the investigation is done if you survive, then you will pay for all damages on their boat because it will be your fault. It would be the same thing as driving around in the dark in the country with no headlights on your fault. Just saying 🤔

    Depends on where you hunt but it could’ve been a mistake. Sitka gear has wind stopper technology that’s great for duckhunting. I think I might sell my Firstlite outer layers and get Sitka outer layers. I love the base layers from both companies. In the long run it does what it supposed to but if you want wind and water protection from Firstlite you’ll have to get that new set that just came out.

    I will tell you this we often hunt of shore and in the timber. Wouldn’t call it flooded Timber but absolutely standing in water amongst trees and cattails. I love it because everything here is dark. Lay down blinds close up so it’s inconsequential why color you were IMO. I am thinking about getting a Marsh layer like a Traverse pant and wader jacket for panel hunting in the fields that I’ve been doing recently.

    There’s a diagram in there somewhere. Essentially, it’s battery ground to cutoff, cutoff to grounding block for all devices, grounding block to switch panel where all the hots go to each device. This also means the motor too. That goes to the ground cutoff.
