Amazon Switch Panel - HOW TO WIRE INTO YOUR BOAT

We've done a similar video to this with a different switch panel. Here's another showing how simple it is to make those Amazon switch panels work with a new Pontoon Stuff wiring harness on your boat. I ALWAYS prefer to use the Pontoon Stuff switch panels because they're plug and play and look great, but they're not always available and I'm sure there are lots of folks out there who want a less expensive switch panel. These affordable panels have worked great for us too!

Great video! You addressed many of the questions I had, in a clear and concise way. Very knowledgeable. Thank you.

I didn't realize that all my rockers and push breakers were on the way to fail. I bought the panel similar to the one in this video except I wanted the push reset breakers on mine. But it left questions on why it was hooked up boat with so many piggyback connectors. it was overwhelming, but once I started to remove the old breakers I could finally see a much simpler wiring method and now with this video that answered my questions on can I do this the way I want it set up and the answer was yes.;
Thank you for such an in depth view and explanation that didn't leave me with more questions than I started with!

Great video Tom. Thank you for sharing your methods and sources!

[Masonicx]

Thank you so much for this video. I tweaked it a bit since mine is similar but different. Your instructions were invaluable.

[michaelnelson]

I like your wiring ideas on having mostly all on independently controlled, nice video. Thanks.

[aaronrespall]

You the man... i was thinking about this exact gang switch without 12v. Thanks for passing on some wisdom!

[garyfp]

Thanks for this video, I have the same switch pad and will do the wire swap also. I was going to put my horn on a push button but might order the rocker switch.

[poolman]

That was really good. I'm installing the same setup in my Chevy blazer, but just rocker panels. I don't like those running LED lights on all the time either. Thanks, I am going to do this.

Best video
I’ve seen on this
Nice job man

[rickyho]

Thank You so much Tom, such a great video. You really deserved a subscribed and a thumps up!

[CulinaryGangster]

Thanks for all these videos . I am redoing my pontoon this fall but the electrical work makes me nervous

[Convertable]

Excellent video. Do you by chance have one regarding hooking up to separate motor trim switches?

[darronb]

Best explained AND SHOWN video yet. Thanks tom. I just have a question i have just a usb outlet version that has the main live and neutral line in then out to the switches but its rated at 5v 4.8amp would this blow anything that i put in it like my phone ? As my phone uses 5v 1.5amp ? Thanks

Great video. This will be helpful as Im close to getting the wiring on my whaler done.

Excellent tutoral. A question, you disconnected the positive leads to the "always on" LEDs on the rockers. Can you use the corresponding ground side to complete the circuit for each switch, rather than grouping all the ground wires together? That way if you ever need to make a wiring change, you wouldn't need to tear the ground bundle apart. In fact, it looks like you could just move all the jumpers over so there is only one black and one red jumper per switch, then just clip off the extra jumpers to get them out of the way.

This video is definitely going to help my husband and I rewire our new to us pontoon. Why is it so difficult to find used fencing and gates? I realize that each pontoon is different, but gates shouldnt be hard to find. What do you do with the old fencing you remove?

[jamesbowman]

Why not just add one little main switch in front of that switch panel?

[bobstaples]

Thank you, one thanks !! question, can I use one of the switches to power on all the lights and volt meter, lighter and USB?

[MEANASSJAMSTER]

my plan with the 'fripperies + gimmicks' on that fuse panel is to fit a switch and / or relay in series with the ground, - a powered on relay can be arranged so that the n/o contacts provide ground, - basically creating an 'ignition' line for when the power system is having a good time, - solar panels are generating plenty, wind is abundant ...water turbine is giving

[PyrateRumRunner]

Have you considered using the first switch to power the led lights and voltmeter / usb / cig lighter? Basically one switch to connect / disconnect the rest.
