 one shiver one thousand here today as you can see I got the boat way up in the air and that's because we're gonna be put lights on the trailer I'm gonna be putting these LEDs on and I'm gonna show you how I do it your results may vary because you know different trailers you might have to run your wires differently but I'll explain to you the different things different wireings that you should use and stuff like that coming right up stay tuned okay guys the first step we're gonna cut these wires back here good enough I've got a ground wire which my new lights don't have the the eyelets so I'm probably gonna put an eyelet on it I'll show you that here in just a second these haven't been on here that long now once once I get these off here now see my tag I'm not sure what I'm going to do because it's going to stick way out and I don't like that down here in Florida you can get like motorcycle size tags for your boat trailers I'm gonna see about getting one of them but until then I probably put this one back on right where it is all right so my new lights these are 716 by the way these ones here my new lights don't have that so they're going to go up here on the rollers up here but okay so these things here once these get rusty these haven't been on here at long but once these get rusty they'll spin inside that plastic and if you got that problem you're probably gonna have to reach in there with a cutoff tool or something and cut them off if they break oh well so be it because you can buy these bolts so I mean if you're not gonna reuse them you know just break them off or whatever so you can get to it but if you're gonna reuse them that's what you're gonna have to do but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna save these because they are LED and they are submersible I just don't like them for this trailer so probably sell them to somebody for five bucks they should be worth that and again your left your left lights always going to be yellow your right one's going to be green your brown is always going to be your your tail lights your running lights tail lights yellow like I said is your left and right turn and your break your white your ground okay and also your left will always have a clear underneath it that clear light is is for your license plate light so probably have to put this back on for now I mean you gotta have a tag right they can still pull us over if they can't see it but we haven't had an issue yet okay so I'm gonna do the same thing to the other side and we're gonna yank all this wire out and just because I'm rewiring the whole trailer okay now if I remember right this thing already had holes in here in the frame and I just put these little wire ties in and I'll see what they look like when they come through they look like this so I'm just gonna cut these off and I'm gonna pull these wires off to the front and yank them all out and then I'll start wiring the the new wires back through here and I'm gonna do them the same way this is called the why okay not on the trailer but the the wiring and I'll show you that and I'll touch on that more here in just a minute but let me get these guy and get these cut off it self-explanatory just cut the other end off and these will come off you know or just pull them out and push that through I'll put new ones on so that's what I'm gonna do right now and I'll show you something here real quick I don't know how well you can see it but I'm not sure if this one's like that or not but if you look in there I don't have to show you out here in the light okay so this is what I wanted to show you see how it's all white in there that's because that's from water getting in there and what that does is start eating it all the way up through your wires so you'll start you know alright I'll just put a patch in that wire and the next thing you know now you got two places for to leak it or you know to start corroding and then more and more and more and I'll show you what I do to stop that now up here at the top this is called the pig tail four-way flat up here still good okay so I'm gonna cut these and I'll save this four-way flat for another project let's continue on a little bit about wiring sometimes you'll get these like I said it's kind of they call it a Y it's where you got your green and brown run down one side your yellow brown run down the other side for left and right now sometimes you'll get these where you only have green yellow brown and white and they run just run down the side and then you got to split it off and run across the back now that's okay for trailers that are on the road but if you if you have a boat trailer you don't want any wires running across the back of your boat okay or your boat trailer you always want to run one set down the left side one set down the right side so anyway I wanted to show you that so bear that in mind I mean you can do it the other way but chances you know of your wire in the back hanging down catching on to something at the ramp or your boat grabbing it and yanking it you know chances are higher this way I don't have any wires running across the back I don't have to worry about that okay so now what a lot of guys won't mention to you about these four-way flats what if you have a seven-way plug the big round plug with seven you got six around the outside and you got one center pin that center pin is your your brakes that that would be a blue wire and then you have an auxiliary which is usually a red wire what that is is if you've got a dump trailer or something that has batteries in it that will keep your your battery charge for your dump trailer how if you have one of those you don't have to cut this and put one of them on it you can get an adapter seven-way plug is the big round one all shoot a picture over across the screen right now if you have one of those but you got a four-way flat for your boat or whatever now here's a picture of the adapter you get that adapter just goes from seven-way down the four-way and you don't have to change this and so what I like to do is I'm not I'm just gonna run the wires down each side and I'm not gonna connect them yet because I like to start at the back because a lot of guys don't start at the back come up the front and they got three feet of wire out here then they got to cut it down and anytime there's a connection you have a potential for other problems you know so what I like to do is the least connections as possible like I got side marker lights to put on this since it's such a small trailer I'm not gonna put them on because again I'll have to tap in to my brown wire on each side that technically is two more taps that's two more connections that can get moisture in them they can start you know eating wire the wires up but I'm what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna run this run these down each side and go to the back and then I'll show you how I'm gonna run my lights okay guys I got this prepped I'm just gonna show you one then we'll head back out to the boat what I did was I put a piece of shrink tube on here now I'm just gonna take these two wires I'm gonna kind of shove them into each other just like that see that then I'm just gonna twist them twisting together like this makes a nice good connection I've got this already tensed up now I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna solder these wires so if I can get it to where you can see it here I don't have one of them holders make sure you get a good good solder on it I know you can use buck connectors just put grease or something on them I know that but this is always a lot better if it's gonna be permanent you want it to stay permanent right because buck connectors they'll pull apart real easy you'll break the wire on this before you before it comes apart once it's soldered that's it it ain't going anywhere all right get it all the way around there soldering iron is not the best but it's the best I got so all right now I'm gonna let this cool down for a second and we're gonna we're gonna run this up on here and what a lot of guys will do they'll take this and go over go over top of the shrink wrap but I find sometimes when you do that you actually melt through it then it kind of defeats the purpose of having it the best way is use a heat gun I'm not sure where my heat gun is I'm just gonna be using my lighter so and make sure we can slide this up on there and I go a good ways guys because I want it sealed the best I can seal if it's on a regular trailer yes you can use buck connectors and all that it's fine but remember these a lot of times are going to get submerged and then just take your lighter and you can see that shrink right around there nice and tight you get a nice clean look and what I forgot to do right now is what I normally do is and I have it right here is I'll put a little I'll put a little Vaseline on that connection and then and then put my shrink wrap on but I forgot but so if I have any issues with my ground on the why but this should be pretty much watertight so I'm gonna do that to the other one I pre-made these I didn't actually really have to do a whole lot the holes already lined up perfect with this stainless steel piano hands there's where I cut them out of and then I just rounded them I didn't have to drill any holes or anything those were already there and they were already perfect so let me get the other ground wire prepped and then we'll head back out to the boat trailer now we use my little copper wire here and we're going to go down through through our bunk or our looting roller it's not the bunk and we'll keep going till it comes out the bottom and then I'll hook my light wires up to the end of this and I'll pull it through so I'm gonna fish this down through and I'll kick you back on when I'm pulling it back up through okay change of plans I can't run it through this tube because down here at the bottom of this tube the way they bend it it collapses the center there's not enough room in between here to pull these wires up through so I'm just going to have to go up the side of it I hate that now I could drill here and here and I can bring it through come out here in the back in here but I don't want to weaken this more holes you got in here you know the the more chance of it rusting out and getting weak so I'm going to run it up beside it and I'm going to zip tie it with my handy-dandy zip ties here and I guess we have to do it that way yeah I like to keep them inside as much as possible so they don't catch on things and stuff like that so now I know I told you I start back here because I don't want a lot up front but in my case I need a lot up front because what I'm going to do is I'm eventually going to extend this trailer 18 inches right so I'm not sure exactly how much I'm going to need after that just probably 18 more inches than what I've got here but that way I know I will have enough when I extend my trailer so I'm going to come up because I got some won't come up about like that and I'm going to hook my wires together or hook my wires up at the lights the same way I did the ground wire and the ground wire is not going to run clear up to the front it can run on any ground well this is a good ground so what I'll be doing here is I'll be mounting my light oh right about here somewhere right in here I don't have the screws on the back yet so I'm going to mount about right there that's about where it's going to be mounted so I've got plenty of wire then what I'll do is on the back of here I'll just push put that on there like that then I'll shove the extra up inside of here and then that'll be my ground it'll be like this okay so what I'm going to do is I'm going to I may have to use two of these it doesn't feel real sturdy if I do it's no big deal I can make two more and but I'm going to go ahead wherever I put my screws that are my nuts I'm gonna go ahead and I'm going to drill this out or run myself tappers in here and see if this is going to be strong enough it should be if not like I said I'll run two on each side all right so we got a little rain I got stainless steel nut bolt here it's just a carriage bolt I think I think I can get it tighten okay so bring this up here and I went ahead and made a couple more mounts so I'm doubling up on them I think it'll be just fine now so alright so I'm going to do I'm gonna get this tightened up about right there and then we'll hook the wires up yeah I think that'll be just fine so now I'm gonna hook hook the yellow and brown up and then what I have left over I'm just gonna stick down this hole back behind here and I think everything's gonna be alright so I'm just gonna go ahead and solder these up the way the way I did the the way I did the the ground wire trouble remember what I'm gonna say here lately alright so I need to go get my soldering stuff and these are just gonna come over here they're gonna go down here and then into that hole so alright guys well there's a hole right here I'll probably just stick them in this hole show you when I'm done how I ran this so yeah that's gonna be alright this work just fine then I can shove my extra down inside there so let me get these soldered up and then I'll be back with you so there's what we got this mounted on there that's pretty solid more solid than I thought really so these are tight there's my ground which is in turn grounded to that which is grounded to the frame so what I did was I brought the wires up through here and out this top hole here right into there like I said I had to run them here but that's okay I've got a little extra there that I'm gonna pull underneath there that I'm gonna pull out front and I'm gonna leave me a little extra and I'm just gonna tie the zip tied up inside there so it looks nice because like I said I'm gonna whoops sorry I'm gonna extend I'm gonna extend this frame out here 18 inches a foot and a half okay because see right now I don't have it jacked up or nothing see it's just all the weights in the back because this is not the right trailer for this boat there's too much overhang that right there's the end of the trailer and you see how much overhang it is so when you see it sitting straight it's because I got a jack under the back or I got a battery up here or something to you know bring it down so I've got to extend this out 18 inches that'll bring my boat forward 18 inches and that'll be about where I need to be so I'm gonna leave a little extra up inside of here and that way when I do extend see I like to run these about 18 inches out you're good to go so if I extend this 18 inches out which would be about right there it's gonna be too short then I can lengthen my wires so everything I just did here I'm gonna go do on the other side and I'll bring you along with me when I button up the front I'll show you what I'm gonna do up here these are my little zip ties to go through these little holes here right there to hold my to hold my wires up out of the way and then we'll we'll turn the boat this way and all back to Chevy back here and we'll hook them up and see if they work so I'm gonna go ahead and get this side done like I said we had a little rain looks like it may rain some more so I want to get it done before it rains we'd like to take the boat out this weekend so yeah like I said this light here there's one on the other side was from I don't know somewhere down the line somebody put them on there I'm not gonna worry about it's not long enough trailer to have to have them side marker lights so you know legally I mean yeah they look cool but in the long run you know this thing submerged clear you know I mean it gets submerged clear up to here sometimes depending on the ramp alright let me get this side on and then we'll button the front end up together and we'll hook it up to the Chevy and see if they work okay guys so we got this done here at the ground hooked up up in here and over here all the extras as if tied up in here now what I was gonna mention to you is sometimes well usually I'll leave some extra there because you know these lights that quit working they'll you know get broke off or whatever and you have to replace them so you always want to leave some extra down in there hidden or zip tied up there so you can pull it out but I didn't this time because I've got plenty up here once I once I stretch this frame out again 18 inches then I'll run I'll run it back and then I'll leave a little extra back there but right now if something happens see I've got all this extra up here I can slide back to it so we've got this in here now I'm gonna try to try to do this monkey took her mom for a walk so I'm gonna try to pull this down latch it on there we're going to check our lights make sure the lights are working there's also something else I wanted to check I want to see if this gate will open up so until I can get a backup camera in here I can raise that gate up and you can see a lot better when you're backing this thing down around because these these little boats these skinny boats and the jet ski trailers they're hard to back they're single axle so once they start turning they're committed they're going to turn I'm gonna plug our lights in we're gonna see if we have any lights there we go all right let me come and get you well first we got to turn them on right okay so they're usually on automatic says auto oh no come on when it's dark all right so I see we've got sidewalker lay here yeah and a light over here down here Florida they say if you can see the vehicle lights you don't need lights on your trailer but geez how many times did monkey get hit and all her lights work on her truck left turn okay let's go with the right turn and if we got those we'll have brake lights because it doesn't have a module in it let's go ahead and set your back here I'll go ahead and hit the brakes so you can see and see before the lights were down there on the fenders how you can't even see the fenders you know I mean so now at least you can see him I did put that license plate up there I don't like that cuz it sticks way out but maybe it'll help backing me down let me go hit the brakes hi guys so there you go they're working like I said trailer so small I don't need to put side markers on it I think they look cool but if it's a regular trailer I'd have it lit up like a Christmas tree but it's not so they're on their way back they're down here behind me there they are so anyway thanks for watching guys she bears met the manual edge I'm gone for now it's easy it's real easy just make sure you're oh and there's little metal clips I don't know if this came with any or not but you're supposed to clip your wires up in them don't use them things guys because let me see it came with like scotch locks and stuff that should have been this box because I didn't use them okay yeah okay they just gave us scotch locks and wire nuts but sometimes they'll give you these little metal they look like kind of like a z or half z half s that you clip your wire into and then clip it onto the frame of your trailer don't use them because these wires are constantly moving and I don't know how many times I had to fix wiring because people used them and they cut through and started shortening stuff out so like long fuses you know so yeah it's all done looking pretty good so alright guys thanks for watching appreciate it she bears and met the manual edge and gone for now if you have any questions leave them in comments below and I'll get back to you as soon as humanly possible we'll see you guys soon what is it Wednesday enjoy the rest of your week bye bye guys and take care I can leave that open when I back down in and I can see the trailer cool
