 Hey guys, Shaber1000 here. Today we're still working on the boat, but not actually the boat today. We're gonna rewire it and get some lights on it. That way when I put the hub on, I may go get the hub tomorrow and we may dunk this in the water and we'll see how it runs in the water. But right now let's get some lights on it and I got a little story to tell you. Stay tuned. Okay guys, so I knew, excuse me, I knew this boat came with two new lights, okay? So I was like, cool. Didn't think looking to box. Two brand new lights there. So and they're boat lights. So I went ahead and done some filming for you. Now some of this you'll see here in a minute where I'm checking the lights on the truck. I'll keep that in there, but the rest of it, I wanna edit out because I was talking, I was fixing some wiring issues that I had found. So I found some wire issues and we repaired them together, you and I. But, oh there's monkey, I didn't even see her. So anyway, I got to looking in the box and guess what? I was also talking about how this winter I'm just gonna go ahead and rewire the whole thing so it's ready for next summer. And when I went to get the lights out, put the lights on the fender, it actually comes with everything. It's got the whole wiring harness and a license plate bracket. Of course instructions, I don't need those, but you may. So yeah, it's all in there. So anyway, let's go ahead and rewire it. First, let's get the fenders straightened out so they're not flopping around and then we'll start it front and go back. And I'll explain to you why here in just a minute. Okay guys, the first issue I see is these lights, you know, they're grounded to the fender which the fenders grounded to the trailer and then the trailer has a ground it gets its ground from the truck. But there's one good reason why they would be intermittent. See that? There's another good reason why this side's not working right there. Now let's check the other side. I've not checked this side, but I know the fender's loose though. See that fender's loose too, so it can't ground. And so somebody tried to seal these lights up and that ain't the way you do it. Don't do that guys. Okay guys, here we go. So first thing we're gonna check is our running lights which is the brown wire. You know, headlights, whatever you wanna call it. We're just gonna stick this in the brown, make sure this doesn't touch so we should go on this side of it like that. Now I'm gonna go turn the lights on and we're gonna check that, make sure it's tight. Okay, we've got lights on the truck. Now this should light up and go beep and it's not. So we have an issue somewhere, there it is. Might need to clean insides of them out a little bit. There it is. All right, so now we're gonna try. We're gonna do the left turn signal which is gonna be the yellow one and it's working. All right, now let's do the right turn signal. I replaced the converted box in this before, so. All right, now let's do the brakes which is gonna be kind of hard to do by myself. But what we're gonna do, we're gonna put this on here. Best we can like that. Then I wanna try to stick this down. We'll do the yellow one first, kind of down beside there. I'm gonna put my foot on the brake. I wanna see if that makes any noise and it didn't, so it could be not making a good enough contact. Usually after your turn signals are working, your brake lights are gonna work too. But let's make sure. Okay. So the brake lights are working. All right, well let's check the right one too. Make sure it's gonna work. Okay guys, see they had these things on there. And if you look, they had it all sealed up and just junky way to do stuff. Now not only will it might keep the water out, which they didn't seal that up, water can get inside there. If it does get in, it can't get out. And if you look down inside there, see all that goop? It's all rusted up, corroded. Don't do that guys. Okay, so what I did was I got them off of there. I got the fenders tightened up pretty good. What happens with these is people step on them. Those are not steps guys, don't stand on them. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead and unwrap all these wires here. Later on, I will put new side marker lights on, but not right now. Like I'll put one on each side there, one on each side here, and then on the back. It's a short trailer, but they got the bunks extended out. But it's okay, this boat is not that long. So as you can see, we're already almost done with unwiring this, if I get off of it. See, just, they just got it all wrapped around there. You know, just black-taped and just ain't the right way to cut off what you don't need because you gotta splice it in the back anyway, right? So start at the front, give yourself what you need, then go to the back and cut off what you don't need. You might wanna leave six or eight inches up in there somewhere, wire tied up real nice and neat, pretty. You know, in case you gotta replace lights, which eventually you will, you know, so just leave me a little extra, but don't start wrapping that stuff. I need the right way to do it. But what we usually do, well, what we did at work, and what I usually do is look for holes in the frame. Sometimes they got holes in the frame. If they don't have, you can zip tie it, but what I usually do, see, there's one there, one of those things, I only see one now. There's another one there, right there. I don't think there's any more back there. But what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna drill these out, these pop rivets out. There's a couple on the other side too. So I'm gonna drill them pop rivets out, maybe put another one down through there, and I'm gonna use a zip tie through them holes, and I'll show you how I do that. But right now, I'm gonna go ahead and get all the wires off. I got the taillights off. On the other side, what's so bad, I actually had to cut it off with a cutoff wheel, so it's off. See this shit, don't do that. I mean, you gotta splice it anyway. Why not? Just leave you enough. And, you know, this just, you know, it just goes to show. And then it gets up inside there like that, and things move, and then you end up with shit like that. That'll eventually wear through while it already did. He said he was blowing fuses. Well, that's why, that was grounding out. All right, let me get those off of there, and I'm gonna get those rivets drilled out, and I'll show you how I do my wiring, okay? Okay, I got this on here. You got a good set because it also came with the pigtail for the truck, which we're not gonna need because our pigtail's fine. But of course, I will save that in case something happens to our pigtail, but I'm just gonna, yes, I'm gonna have plenty. I'm just gonna bolt this right back there and that little hole right there, and we will have, oh yeah, we'll have plenty of, yeah. Okay, then I'm gonna run it right up through here. A lot of guys will run them out through here, which is okay, but I find that a lot of guys that do that, they end up pinching their wires in there, so I always run mine beside. It's, well, shoot. I really can't come out. I'm gonna have to do that, but see there's a hole right here. So what I'm gonna do is I'll zip tie that there so that way I cannot get it up in there. If it does, I can fix this no big deal, but I just don't know what size it is. Damn mosquitoes out, it's getting ready to storm. Okay, I may have to change that ball. That doesn't feel like it's on there all the way. But anyway, guys, I'll pick one up tomorrow. So yeah, I'll show you how I do that. I'm gonna put this bolt in, nothing special, nothing exciting. I'm just gonna go ahead and bolt this on there and I'll bring this out. So I'll show you what else we're gonna do. Okay, guys, I'll show you how I'm gonna do this. I got this little zip tie here, just regular zip tie. It's small enough to get through this hole. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna run it through here, around them wires and then back through here. Okay, so this is what I did here. So I pushed it through and I looped it around the wires and then brought it back through here. Now we're just gonna go ahead and hook it on like it's supposed to be hooked. Just pull it through so you get a nice, so it's nice and snug. There you go. That's all you need to do. And I'm gonna do that all the way down through this side and all the way down the other side. So now you get an idea of what I'm doing. I don't know what this wire is for. I think it's an old ground wire or something, but how you get an idea of what's going on. I think I've got some, and then of course you cut this off here, you know, so it looks a little better. I think I've got some wire loom that I can put over this. So, and as you can see, I'm gonna have plenty. So all right, guys, I'll be right back with you. I'm just gonna run these wires down through, along the frame and do this all the way back through there. Okay, guys, I think I might just have time to show you this. I gotta hurry. These are carriage bolts or stove bolts. They slide in there like that, like this. Now, unlike the other lights that we took off that was grounded when you bolt them onto something, what the hell? These or not, they've got their own ground wire, which is the white wire. Now, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna bring that around. Once I put it on, put that there and it'll ground to the fender and it will ground, let me see, do I want this to the frame and then to the truck? I don't know if I want it like that. Well, I better see if these holes will line up first. Yeah, they should, yeah, they'll line up. Okay, yeah, I just, I want it like that. I don't want it hanging down too low. So, because this trailer's low anyway, because these little small tires on here, and this is your left light because it's got your spot here for your old doodad thingy. I'm just gonna stick this on here. Well, first what I'm gonna do, now, you know what? There's a spot to run these wires right down through here, just like this. There's a little, sorry guys, I got a hurry. It's getting ready to storm like mad. So, these will run down through here like this. Then, we're gonna put, I want it like this. Yeah, I want it like this. Nope, can't have it like that unless I have it down lower. I guess we'll just, we'll put it like this because like I said, I want the tag up. I don't want the tag dragging. Now this, I'm just gonna bring around to the back. It's gonna go over here. All right, so I'm gonna bring the white one which is ground and bring it around back and I'm just putting it on one of the studs. I know you can't see it, but putting a lock washer on and my nut, just like that. Now, I'm grounded real good and then I'm gonna run my other two. I'll run my wire out through this hole and hook on to these two. Now, I'm just gonna scotch lock them instead of doing the, what do you call it? The butt connectors. I'm gonna scotch lock these, okay? But you can butt connect them, but I'm not going to. Okay guys, so that's what I did with that. That's the ground wire from the light because the fenders grounded the frame. Got it soon, ground wire that is grounded off the truck. Plus when it's on the ball, it'll be grounded. So, but that's what I did. I just brought it around and put it on to that bolt. Now, if you're hooking on to plastic, you'll have to go somewhere to metal and ground it or run a ground all the way back. So anyway, that's how I did that. Let me get these two wires hooked up and I gotta hurry, I'm sorry guys. And then I'm gonna do the other side. Okay guys, like I said, I'm just gonna scotch lock these. That's these little blue things. I like the gray ones better. Come on, focus. But all I'm gonna do, yellow to yellow, brown to brown. So I'm just gonna stick these in here. I'll show you here in just a second. Stick that one in that way, this one in this way. Now that metal tab right there, you're just gonna squeeze that together. And that just cuts right into the wires. There it is. Good to go. Let me make sure it's straight. Just squeeze it down in there. Now bring your veil, bring your veil over, clip that in there like that. Now as you've seen, like I said, I left a little wire. I left a little wire, you see what I did there? That's my extension cord. My extension cord's going through there. But I left a little extra wire in case I gotta change the light, but usually you always have plenty. So I'm gonna do this one, then I'm gonna do the other side the same way, and then we're gonna plug it in. And we're gonna try it out now. I know what a lot of you guys are thinking, well, these things are not waterproof. No, they are not waterproof. But what I always do, when I'm backing into the water, the trailer into the water, I unplug my trailer anyway. Because you don't need lights under water and nine times out of 10, they're gonna be under water. So that's why I never worry about these too, too awful much because like I said, I always unplug my trailer anyway. So let me get the other side run down through there. I'm just gonna do it the same way as this. And then we'll plug them in and turn them on to see if we got everything. So guys, I almost made it. I got the lights on. I still have to get them wired up or, you know, put up where they belong. I don't like the way they stick out like that. So I'm gonna drill more, drill holes and bring them in here a little bit more. But I don't know how well they're gonna be able to be seen if I do that. So what I'm probably gonna end up doing is putting my guides up here and putting them on top of the guides. But for now, let's go ahead. I'll have to finish it up tomorrow. Let's go ahead and turn some lights on. I'll just take you off the stand and bring you with me. So I gotta reach in, open that door in the truck anyway. I'm probably gonna get in trouble. So I went in the house once. Oh, I didn't even have it all the way closed. That's okay. The monkey's like, get a step down. I'm getting a shower. You're gonna catch the moon. But I'm doing this for her. You know, I want to get this stuff done. Let's turn the key on. Now first, we're gonna turn our parking lights on. Well, I guess I better plug this in first, huh? Or we ain't gonna have nothing. These are LEDs too, so. And see, they're kind of like up in the air. But anyway, at least they're on there. So yeah, like I said, I'll just, I think I got the stuff. I'll just make my guides and put up here. But let's go ahead and I know on this one, if we got turn signals, we're gonna have brakes. But yeah, there she is. And it just stopped for some reason. I'm guessing I'm not plugged in all the way here. There we go. All right, we got left. Now let's do right. I can see it already. There it is. So, and I do know we have brakes. So, my camera's gonna get wet. Yeah, see, they can't be seen. Damn it. Yeah, I'm gonna have to put them up in the air. But at least for now, we got those. And here's the dilemma I have on my, it's not really a dilemma. See, this is running down through there between the lights. Ain't gonna go through. I'll have to unplug it up at the house and bring it through. Okay, so we got everything. Okay guys, sorry I had to hurry you along, but trying to beat the rain almost made it. But either way, I still gotta get them lights up in the air because you can't see them. Down here, I believe if you can see the vehicle, the vehicle's lights pulling the trailer, you don't have to have trailer lights. But I don't want to chance it. We've been hitting the ass too many times in this truck as it is, I don't want them taking the boat out too. So, anyway guys, I better get in the house. I'm gonna get in trouble. Shabarra the myth man legend, we gone for now. Bye bye guys, we'll see you soon. Take care now.
