SUPER EASY! How To Wire a Jon Boat Switch Panel
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- We walk through all of the wiring for a 4 gang boat switch panel. This panel has 2 inline fuses with each one protecting 2 switches, switch location lights as well as switch ON/ID lights. Great little panel for a small jon boat setup.

This is extremely helpful and very simple to understand. This is the only video that actually breaks it down in simple terms for a person who has never done any electrical work in a boat. Awesome video and thank you!
Thanks for the view! I appreciate the support!
Nice.
I don’t know jack about electricity. I don’t even know what a fuse is. None of this makes sense to me.
I’d get a marine shop to wire it up. They would probably do pretty cheap.
Finally figured out what the blue and yellow were for. Thanks
Yeah this it pretty complicated. They could have made it easier. Glad you got it
I've been watching a lot of videos on how to wire a switch pannel but this is the only on that actually helped thanks so much
Awesome, glad I could be a little help! Thanks for the view
I agree with Jamal
Thanks! I Appreciate the view and support!
Hey, it helped me.I'm installing the same panel
Awesome! Yeah it was kind of confusing for me with all those extra wires for the switch lights 😅
I have this same switch I have hool up yah me ! But when plugged in to battery the rectangle lights at the bottom of switch is on constantly. I only want lights to be on when I turn them on .
Just disconnect the power lead going to those lights. Blue wire on my switch panel.
I'm a bit slow, I really didn't understand the additional wires there...
I think the ones you are taking about are just to distribute/jump the power to the switch lights
Thank you man, this was helpful
Good rem pick up your trash 😅
Sweet bro this is exactly what I needed to know!
Awesome man, glad the vid helped a little. Get to wiring!!!! Lol
Thanks for this video man! I got the final information that I needed to wire my boat… I appreciate you making this video
Awesome, thanks for the view!
So I can run my light bar wire straight to the back of the switch?
Best practice is to have a fuse block. Light bar to fuse block to switch. If your switch is fused you could go directly to the switch if the fuse amp rating matches the protection you need. Or have an inline fuse going to the light bar
How do you feel about this switch board a year later?
It’s still doing good, was afraid of water and moisture but so far so good
@@Skinnyriver one more question, do you see any problem with putting a minn Kota trolling motor 2 separate led lights and then navigation lights on it?
Are you wanting to put the trolling motor on it? That’s too many amps, the switch board (and most like it) is only rated for 10amps. So only lights and small things like bilge pumps
That’s what I was worried about I suppose I should watch a couple more videos on low voltage in general
There is really not a reason to wire your trolling motor through a switch. Because you control it (on off) when you are using it. Most people direct wire to the battery and have a 50 amp inline fuse or 50amp DC circuit breaker that protects if there ever was an electrical issue (prevents fire hazard)
can you tie the red and blue together
Great video. I bought the same panel. I’m concerned on it draining my battery since the switch lights are always on even if the switches are in the off position and the equipment attached are off. Anyway around this?
Yeah you have to get a main power switch/cutoff between your battery and the rest of the boat wiring. Or do what I do and simply unhook the positive connection off the battery terminal when not in use
@@Skinnyriver ok, and if I have a fuse box/buss bar, would the master switch be between the battery and fuse box?
I’m not an electrician but I think the main kill switch should be before everything (immediately after the battery) That way if you have an issue with your fuse block (rat chews some wires and it starts smoking), when you kill power it kills it to everything. Just make sure the switch is rated at high enough amps. ALL the current for everything in the circuit will go through that switch. Not that huge of an issue unless the trolling motor is on the battery. Trolling motor can pull 50 amps.
@@Skinnyriver appreciate your help!
Hey Noah, Bass Brothers Fishing DMV has exactly what you're after. How to isolate the switch panel highlights and amp meter. ua-cam.com/video/cdIu6EMv36A/v-deo.html
Clear as mud bro
👍👍👍
Fyi the red fuse wires go to your appliance positive all negatives connected together in a junction box
This is what I am not understanding
So do all of if my accessory ground wires connect to the main ground?
Yes...ideally to a negative bus bar, that way you only need one black wire from the bus bar to the battery
