 one Shaber 1000 here today we're going to be getting this boat ready to take on our overnighter really not much to do my navigation lights work the headlights work but the interior of the blue lights don't work so we're going to check that stuff out and we'll get into it stick around so like I said all the lights working except for the ones inside they're not a necessity I just like to have them when I'm out at night in the boat you know it's it's kind of an ambiance it's kind of cool if I drop something I can find it and it's more noticeable to like bigger boats I don't I don't usually have to worry about it out here on the river if I was going out on the lake you know that that would help out a lot but like I said they're not a necessity I just like them I'm going to try to get them working I got the battery up front I got it on the charger and I've got uh let's see I checked my pump and my pump is working so what else probably going to start this up real quick can't let it run long but we'll start it up make sure it's going to start okay for me I can't be out there cranking on that thing like I used to so it usually starts up pretty good so we're going to fire the engine up make sure it's okay check the gas but right now let's get into this uh end of these lights and find out what's going on with them okay guys I found the ground wire off here I don't know can you see them lights so we're going to fix this ground wire uh I forgot a screwdriver dag on it okay I know the lighting sucks guys but I'm sorry yeah it's definitely a ground problem like I said these wires are so so tiny man just snap right off of there I have have another one of these and I'm going to put on here don't lose that screw uh and it's hard to it's hard to get these wires to where you're not just kind of cutting them you know what I mean so that's what I got to do a lot of times is do that hey there we go I'm going to fold these over twist them now what I'm going to do is since this is ground I'm going to take this red this red piece off of here I don't know what you guys can see because I'm not looking at the screen uh I'm going to take this red piece off plastic off here and put that straight on there and then something a little different I'm going to do this time is I'm going to put some of this on here so let me get this uh let me get this sorted on what I'm going to need and then I'll kick you back on okay guys so like I said the lighting's horrible out here what I'm going to do first is I'm going to take a little piece of this this is just heat heat shrink and I'm going to cut it now like that I'm going to set it over there this is going to play a part in it too so I'm going to cut oh about a third of it all right now what we're going to do is we're going to put this on here first this is just going to go to that right there okay but we're going to put that on first and we're going to put this on second guess it doesn't really matter okay now we're going to put our yeah this is the smallest one I've got too and I and it's it's actually it's actually too big so I mean I know they're leds and they're low voltage but you know you can you can run a little bigger wire than that on there okay so let's try to crimp this down all right my crumper's don't even want to go that small all right so kinda all right so we're going to bring the little one since I can get it through there up here and I'm just going to put it right there to that or close to it because the big one is going to be over this so that way it tightens it up a little better makes it a little bit stronger I'm just going to use my lighter for this okay I've got to let this cool for a second because if you don't want to go to slide this over it it'll actually melt this before you get it up on there so all right now let's go ahead and put this up on there just like that see how it I don't know what you guys oh shit sorry I don't know what you guys are saying but it's then it should should be enough to give it give it a little more strength but these are them cheap lights too you know I mean it was eight bucks I got 10 of them I got one up front up in the bow there's two up at the point of the boat and one of them's not working that's okay it's hardly noticeable but all right now let's put this on the other okay I see it's working now but I gotta glue that back on there so let me go get some stuff okay guys I found another issue right here was loose I just had a black tape because like I said there's really no connections I can get to make that a good connection so I'm gonna try something different what I want to do I'm gonna cut this in half maybe all my cutters are dull okay so then I'm gonna strip this back some more then I'll strip this one back some more okay I've already got this one stripped stripped back so I'm going to put a piece of this heat shrink on there I'm gonna wire it up and heat shrink them together because like I said there's really those wires are so small there's really not a good connection I can make with regular buck connectors or like I said when you solder them if you solder these things they will they'll do the same thing so I don't know if this is going to work or not so I'm going to twist these two together like this and I'm going to put this one on here like this I'll see it should that light should come on now yeah and it does okay so now I'm going to try to scoot this over top of all that and that should help there now I still didn't go get my glue yet to glue that light on there let's go ahead and put this on here I want to kind of over here then I'll get this glued up I got to make another connection over on the other side the same same issue so let me get you over here where you can see a little better okay so again I want to put this little tiny one man I wish you I know cameras don't do this justice we should guys can see how tiny these are now this is one of those times where I can actually say yeah I get what I pay for so I got like 10 lights for eight dollars or something I got more in there I still got a whole another set when they work it just I don't like that wire situation because see what this is what that little piece there is going to do is take up you know so it's not so because this one's huge so we're going to put this one on here and like I said I was going to solder them but there I've soldered these before and they just don't they just don't work I mean the solder just it just breaks right at the solder this is the best way I found so far to do this yes I'm just going to scoot this up here a little bit because it's just going to take up some of the slack as you can see the lights came on and like I said these are not a necessity where do I put my lighter they're just I just like them and I can't find my lighter okay it was over there my drill was on it so we're just going to go ahead and heat this up and I've mentioned this before if it's a hot day guys keep this stuff out of the sun trust me I used to do that all the time man at work you know I'd have to go out and do something out in the sun and and I would bring my heat shrink and I'd check the sizes what I need go out and then it wouldn't fit no more well the sun made it shrink so I'm just going to put this right over here like that I got a heat gun it's perfect for this but uh how if I'm just doing this out here this will be fine okay so now oops I'm moving you guys okay let me see here I lost my lights again let me see all right I gotta find a problem hang on okay guys you're not gonna believe this I know I stand here talking to you I'm out here by myself uh I just looked over and the switch was off and I I don't know if I heard it go off uh the switch was actually off nothing fell on it but uh I forgot to tell you I'm not going to be tying or gluing that that on over there that light I'll show you what I'm going to do I got that double-sided tape tape that I'm going to stick on it okay so this is what I've got this 3m stuff um those lights themselves they do come with sticking with stick backing to stick on here but it's not that great what I did with the other ones um I did take the backing off and like the ones up on front and stuff they're holding real good uh I did take this backing stuff off of it but what I did was I used that white silicone sealant and put a thin layer layer of that on and they're holding so uh I was gonna do that on this but I decided not to this one these ones uh you can see them at night it's just that they get so dirty back here because of the gas tank and uh you know the fumes get back in here um it's not dangerous because it's wide open it's just you can see the dirt you know I mean look how dirty that is back in here and this has all just been painted you know so for my trip tomorrow this is going to be all right this will this will be fine and I like these back here in case I have any engine problems or something it does help it does help uh light it up for me I don't know how well these are going to work probably the same as what was on there I don't know but if it holds it up till my trip that's fine because this spring you know every spring I go over the boat and uh make sure everything's working we clean it out real good and all that um so this will be all right for until then and I'm going to put another piece right up here okay right there and then uh and I got another piece put on the other side and this will be done and then I think we'll start it up I'm not going to let it run because I don't feel like getting a bucket of water out because the way this is designed I can't put muffs on it um the water where the water intake is I've got a set of muffs but you know they they won't work on here so I have to fill a big thing of water up to but we're just going to let it run enough to make sure it's going to run like I said I'm just going up here at the river let's go over here like that there we go now I'm going to put one on the other side and then we're going to uh make sure they're all working then we're going to uh start it up and then I think that'll be it I'm not going to worry about all this in here this is just a little bit of water from the rain but where the drain is you know it doesn't drain completely out so usually it dries out but it just rained night before last and it was full of water so well not full of water right always tip the boat up but it can only get so much of it out because that holds right on the bottom so let's go ahead and I'm going to put in another piece of that sticky stuff on there and let's check the light okay guys let's try our nav or our interior lights those are on on I know I got one little one out there like I said I got a whole another pack of them on on I think there's one of these out over there on the other side those are on those ones are off I'm not going to worry about them ones so cool now we're going to check our headlights they're working cool now we're going to check our nav lights our navigational beacons here and I can see them from back here I don't know if you guys can so red and green now the fun thing let's start it up and we need to check our motor our trolling motor we got a light here cool let's see nice and quiet forward and reverse all right awesome so we're going to set this motor down here let me raise that jack up that's why I keep that there I'll raise that up so this doesn't fall down on it onto the ground I gotta check the gas I think it's got about a half a tank it's six gallon tank yeah about a half a tank I'll go ahead and fill that up tomorrow when I go put about two and a half two two and a half gallons in it that'll get me through it's only going to be one night or I'll be by myself so all right let's start this thing up okay guys I already pumped the primer bulb it's tight ready to go give us some throttle I'm gonna go ahead and fill it up and I'm gonna let it run sounds like I got some old fuel in there or something so I want to go ahead and get a bucket under here we'll start it up mess around with it okay so I took the fuel filter off there's a little bit of dirt in it let's see if that does any better it's still not right I think the carb needs to tune up they supposedly took the carburetor off the guy we bought it off of I still got the receipt it doesn't look like it's been off and clean to me I think that's what it's going to need it idle was a little funny like it's kind of starving like say if you got a long motor that's surging that's kind of what it does on idle um on the slow jet you can turn it either way and it doesn't make a difference so but I think it'll be all right for tomorrow so you guys will be watching this tomorrow so it'll be all right for Saturday all right guys so there you go it's ready I'm gonna do my final checks again I just don't want to be out there by myself as long as that that motor that trolling motor works it'll get me where I need to go I don't have to worry about it but the engine seems to be running good so I'm going to leave it at that for now um like I said this spring will go over it and we'll pull the carburetor off and you know I clean it out check the jets and all that stuff so anyway guys thanks for watching appreciate it shea bear the mental man legend I'm gone for now we'll see you guys in the next one bye bye guys and take care I almost forgot to put my starting fluid in here I had it sitting over there I had to use it one time I haven't had to use it since as you've seen it started first crank but I had it there just in case so always carry it with me uh these old motors can be pretty contankers at times so always make sure I got that with me I shouldn't need it but we'll see uh all right guys we'll see you soon
