Nice liked how you explained everything at beginning then showed the actual install to music 👍
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback! It helps out a lot when I’m trying to figure out how I should film these DIY videos. 🤙🏼
On the two wire power plugs.
It's my opinion that not only is it important to make the red wire the + also ensure the hot terminal is the covered female. So when it's not plugged in it's still protected and is less likely to short out. Thanks for all you do. We love the videos.
Great job! A power source is mission essential kit when you're out for the day or longer. Buck's Island isn't going to want to sell this beauty by the time you're done with it!
Really cool tool for pulling the wire!!!!
Greez from Swizerland! You make it grate! Nice Videos an easy to do it on mi slayer 12.5 max after watching your videos
Bloody brilliant not sure if I’d have the knowledge to do it myself though
Merry Christmas!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Merry Christmas TJ!!
Great, clean install! I’m still debating how many holes I want to drill in my new one, but I definitely want to add one of these and a few lights. Top notch again, sir.
Merry Christmas!! Can’t wait to upgrade my yak!
Merry Christmas..!!!
Merry Christmas
Awesome vid! Thanks so much.
Really great video as always! Thanks
Thanks Ronnie! 🤙🏼
Merry Christmas to you
Nice work. Looks great!
Merry Christmas brother
I added a couple of on/off switches which allow power to the panel and a different switch to allow for charging the battery in the forward compartment. Unfortunately, I missed waterproofing a connection somewhere and the system fails on saltwater 😥. Going to have to pull every splice to figure out where the problem is 🙄
Wow nice install kayak bro and i hopp this kayak is give-away😀😀😀
A question that always pops up in my mind on these electrics is how waterproof these (usb) adapters are when a cable is plugged in. And how to get a waterproof connection to the action/360 cameras and cellphone.
They work great, I have never seen or had an issue using them. 👍🏼
Great video. When you charge your battery block, do you open the lid or leave everything in? Last time I accidentally shorted the charging terminals with the box closed, it tripped the fuse and ignited the hydrogen bomb, the box was shattered, and pieces flew everywhere. Just saying, be careful handling this type of things.
Looked good
Cool install!!! Great video!!!
AWESOME!
Thanks!! This Big Rig is gonna be a beast! I’m gonna be sad when I have to give it back to Buck’s Island Marina... 🥺 lol
I’m not much on electrical work what size amp fuse do you run I love your video I will subscribe do you have a Lotta detail laugh out loud I’m a welder not much of a electrician but trying to get my bonafide kayak rigged up just lights and fishfinder no trolling motor or nothing like that But I would like to have USB port maybe two
A 5 or 10 amp fuse will be fine. 👍🏼 Thanks for watching!
TJ: Could you use 16 ga wire instead of 14 ga, you have used in this video. I love you instructional videos. Please advise Thanks,
can we use any other gauge wire beside 14? i'm new to electrical and just making sure if there were any calculations i need to do for my need.
What type of amp power fuse you used in the fuse holder? Was it 3am fuse?
Hey TJ. I’m curious about the retaining nuts on the back side of the plug mounting plate. How do you install that entire assembly with the retaining nuts without a huge gap between the mounting plate and kayak wall?
I’m thinking about using this same option on my pelican catch classic 100 so I can run some electronics.
Love your channel brother. I keep learning new stuff with every video you put up.
un related. i want to set up my Jackson Tripper for some over night camping so i want to put in a few stainless steel pad eyes. my question is would screws or pop rivets be best or go ahead and put bolt and nylon nuts?
Cool
so it appears you are relying on the silicone to hold the ports in place cause you didn't use the locking rings. What will stop them from spinning?
No the silicone is just a sealer, I drilled the holes to the exact size of the ports and they thread into the kayak. 👍🏼
@@KayakUSA1 good to know, I was wondering how you get the rings on in the first place. I added the bixpy to my Hobie PA 360 and its battery has USB ports on it, but I want to add some additional electric components, such as mor lighting and nav lights eventually. right now I don't use it in the dark. but I have watched a loyt of your videos for ideas.
I’m looking at installing this on my new kayak. Did you use the nuts that hold the ports in place or just leave them off? I can’t reach the spot inside the hull where I want to mount it so I was wondering if they stay in place without the nut on the back. Thanks.
I use the nuts but if you drill the hole right you can thread them it without using the nuts. 👍🏼
@@KayakUSA1 thanks. Appreciate the help.
Hey boss, quick question. what batteries would you recommend for a kayak power box? I purchased a premade box from a local kayak shop here in North AL and all I need is batteries. Shopping for them can get overwhelming fast!
Great content btw!
Thanks man! I would go Dakota lithium or a good gel battery. 🤙🏼
What size battery would you need or do you use in order to run everything on your yak?
TJ. Nice clean work. I have a question about the SAE connecter. I have an elite ti2 9” I want to connect to a Dakota lithium battery. Can I use the SAE connecter for this purpose? Obviously I will splice in the inline fuse just want to know if this type of connecter will work for this type application. Thanks in advance for any info!
Thanks, Yes sir. That’s exactly what I use for all my graphs. 👍🏼
Thanks! Can you recommend any type of through hull port I can use to mount the SAE lead from the battery, since I will need to put it in a water tight box, I’d like to be able to just plug into the side of the box...
I love to use the Hobie through hull ports. They are pricey but soo versatile!
What about water proof while in use on the water
Never had an issue, when you plug in a coed it seals the port.
Very nice install - do you ever have an issue with the drill in creating a bigger hole than needed?
Thanks, nope not if you use the step bit like I use. Just go slow and keep checking the size until you hit the size you need.
@@KayakUSA1 thanks
Honestly though what’s the point in buying a “wire puller” bruh it’s the same thing as a tape measure. Lmfao waste of money 😂😂.
