1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:08,080
today we're doing something a little different jackery sponsored this video where we're

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:12,960
going to be outfitting colin's dad's boat with about as much tech as we can

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,000
cram into it and hopefully we're approaching at the right angle here

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,960
because i can't freaking see where i'm going ladies and gentlemen hey how you

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:26,080
all doing guys hey a continuity error we're pretending it's still in the box

6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,560
we're gonna have some fun today ladies and gentlemen

7
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,720
i

8
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:46,800
step one is to get the entertainment system going you can see we've got a

9
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,120
nice lounging sort of i don't know chezz

10
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:53,680
bed is this a bed yup this is a dad it's a bunker and we're gonna put a tv on it

11
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,600
so this is a nice picture so this is the boat my dad used to be a chef on and uh

12
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:01,199
it's called the hotel still around when i was born he was working on this boat

13
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,400
and they hopped him in a Floatplane and flew into the airport well the thing

14
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:08,880
about when you mount something on a boat is it seems like you do it in such a way

15
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:12,200
as to such if there's waves it doesn't i can see it

16
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:19,920
i guess the idea is we've got this full range mount so you can either lounge in

17
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:21,439
the bed and watch or uh pull it over oh

18
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,360
you gotta wrong way what

19
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,920
so the idea then i need to keep trucking on this wiring otherwise it's not going

20
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:32,000
to get done i'm going to be working on getting the jackery actually ready to

21
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,680
plug in so we're going to be taking this chunker extension cord we're going

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,680
to snip the end off of it and we're going to run it down into the cabin

23
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,880
below the floor and back to where the house wiring is where we're going to

24
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,720
connect it to a rotary switch so this is the front bridge and

25
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:49,520
there's some random wiring kicking around here but

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,799
critically there's a hole that goes down to by the steering wheel down below and

27
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,640
that's where this guy is going to go and hopefully it'll just go right through

28
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:00,479
there we go okay that was easy where i'm laying now is

29
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,360
where the jackery will be bolted down and then uh we'll have 12 volt power to

30
00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:08,479
recharge it coming from this port that i put in not too long ago and now we're

31
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:14,080
going to fish it down we're going to open up this deck and i'm going to straddle the big diesel motor i'm going

32
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:16,800
to run it under the deck and into where the house wiring comes in and that's

33
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:21,280
where the majority of this work is going to take place because there's already outlets and 120 everywhere in the boat

34
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,080
it's just a matter of getting the power from the jackery up there down into here

35
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:31,760
oh this is gonna take a while slightly awkward thing for compact space-saving

36
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:35,920
living arrangements um small tvs don't really exist anymore but that's okay

37
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:42,319
because thankfully monitors do so we've got a ur 2855 28 inch monitor here it's

38
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:47,280
an ips type monitor it's got support for HDR it's got an HDMI input so we'll be

39
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:52,160
able to use it with our apple tv and all that good stuff and of course critically

40
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:56,160
it has a vasa compatible mount on the back i'm good don't worry i see the

41
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:00,959
cable well that's just light right in my eye

42
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:03,120
i'm standing on the valve covers of a

43
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:06,480
lovely ford diesel motor now i get to get comfortable again

44
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:09,360
get in there

45
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:14,480
at least it's not 46 degrees

46
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:21,120
this is a ac rotary switch so we have three inputs and an off circuit so that

47
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:25,840
means we're going to have the jackery as one of our inputs and then you can switch it to another input and that'll

48
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:29,440
be running off shore power and then the third input is just there because buying

49
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,319
the two position switch was more expensive than buying the three position switch i mean really this went way

50
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:38,000
easier than i thought it was going to go but you know mark my words it's now

51
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:41,280
going to be two hours of fiddling we've already got one thing that might bonus

52
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:46,720
here though colin uh there are several standards for the

53
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:50,480
vase amount in terms of spacing and the back of this monitor is kind of

54
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:55,120
stylistically curved uh there might be spacers in the uh in the hardware

55
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:58,400
spacers all right yeah check the the beautifully laid out hardware kit that

56
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:03,599
comes in those kanto mounts collins all into kanto now that they give his friend

57
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,920
and his dad uh free mounts absolute

58
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:10,239
kanto shell over here all right that's on i don't know about you colin but i'm

59
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:15,040
making some pretty good pride wow oh boy that's some samsung quality right there

60
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:19,199
maximum sag unfortunately our mounting kit only

61
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:21,919
comes with big old chungus wood screws because they assume you're going to do

62
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:26,400
something sensible like screw into a stud but we don't have a stud

63
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,199
we just have this quarter inch wooden panel here so we had to go digging

64
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:34,800
through collins what do you call this a bag of prayers some break of dreams bag of

65
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:39,520
dreams to find some nuts and bolts and we did

66
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:44,240
right against the window oh yeah cause you're gonna walk past it and stuff hey

67
00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:46,720
okay okay do you want to mark it i would like to

68
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,600
okay yeah so that is like an inch from the center bar we're not going to worry

69
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:56,880
too much about it being level because realistically all it takes is me to

70
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:01,759
shift my body weight and we're gonna move it about four or

71
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:06,000
five degrees anyway so what's the deal you mentioned your

72
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:09,600
dad was a chef on a boat before so what do you guys do like fish or like well

73
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,960
that's that's a plan so we have rod holders sitting up top here and chart

74
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,639
holders cool but we haven't actually taken the boat out really we took it

75
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:20,800
down the down the way once for five minutes and then back and then had lunch

76
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,160
oh so you just got it we just got it it took nine months to get it here because

77
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:28,479
we were purchasing it during covid oh cool so that's where that's why you guys

78
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,639
have been putting like so much work into it lately well yeah summer's here we

79
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,759
want to go do things we're going to be checked out by the end

80
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:38,759
of this video that's the dream on it goes

81
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:43,520
hold on let's just yeah you don't really

82
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,759
need that you want to pull it out

83
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:52,080
comes out a little something like that ah

84
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,520
oh yeah

85
00:05:52,080 --> 00:06:00,160
in true call and fashion we'll be mounting the apple tv using free php

86
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:04,560
am i just yellowing this collin just no rules no rules okay make our own

87
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:09,120
rolls here is that cable management cut your mustard colin oh eight plus all

88
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:13,280
right it's in there i'm ready to go plug it in i don't see the fire extinguisher so one

89
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:17,600
should give you shore power that

90
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:21,600
so the wiring is done but shore power isn't working for some reason i don't

91
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:26,000
know if i flubbed a wire i don't think i did so we're going to plug in the jackery and then we're going to see if

92
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:30,560
that turns on the monitor for my next project while calling diagnosis what's

93
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:34,960
going on with the power switch that hopefully works is to put these polk

94
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:40,240
speakers up on the back deck here or excuse me the uh stern deck stern deck

95
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:43,039
yes are these uh weather sealed columns yeah they're weatherproof and they're

96
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:47,000
saltwater resistant the screw will go through

97
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:56,240
this wall has seen some things okay this boat is 50 years old

98
00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:00,479
all wood man this would be a fun kind of project

99
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,440
where's my dad's boat this is one small thing we may not have

100
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:08,240
foreseen this uh appears to have a bit of a

101
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:12,319
clearance issue with this speaker majig can you fix it yes i can fix it look at

102
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,720
you go all right colin the good news is that

103
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:20,560
the bracket's on are you applying there's bad news uh the bad news is that

104
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:25,759
there are now extra holes in the wall well uh that's what bondo's for sweet

105
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:29,360
the problem we're having is we've validated the power is getting through

106
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,319
the switch but validated the switch functions validated the switch functions

107
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:37,199
and we're connected to short power i can see the voltage i can see it come across the switch but we're not getting any

108
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:41,599
power to the outlets why are you not running so that's what we're diagnosing

109
00:07:39,039 --> 00:07:45,120
now the dud ac power switch ended up being human error cullen found a little

110
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:49,599
jumper that had fallen out of the first switch so with that fixed what can i

111
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:55,840
hook up next uh i did the speaker you wanna do the mount the subwoofer okay i

112
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:57,919
found your subwoofer okay

113
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,960
oh this is our plan for the video today yeah that's all the stuff we had to do

114
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:05,280
well now i don't have to keep asking colin what to do next

115
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:10,720
and you wanted it in the very corner seat is that right i think like in the

116
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,720
wall between the two seats

117
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:19,599
i heard the shopback come on i think it's working now that we've got

118
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:22,080
power we can fire up our monitor and uh

119
00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:25,759
hopefully set up the apple tv we're good we're done as much capacity as the

120
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,919
jackery has though obviously we're going to need to charge it so that

121
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:33,440
is where these come in we've got not one not two not three

122
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,279
but four of these jackery solar generators and

123
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:41,599
these are good for about 200 watts each yeah so total that's 800 watts which is

124
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:45,360
more than enough to run everything that would like normally be running on the

125
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:49,360
boat so we're pulling in wow it's still climbing at

126
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:54,959
275 watts with uh two panels our draw right now with the

127
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,959
apple tv and the actual monitor is 294

128
00:08:54,959 --> 00:09:03,120
watts okay so that speaker is definitely working now these guys are not going no

129
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,120
they're not plugged in yet but base

130
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:10,480
we're moored right now no turn up

131
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:13,839
we're actually kind of getting there so right now two panels will run

132
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:20,200
indefinitely the entertainment system indefinitely well is the fridge running now too yes oh compressor's going yeah

133
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:24,560
and we're now at 743 watts i'm checking out the solar

134
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:28,560
panels on the top look brandon's in the video for a change we totally could get

135
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:32,880
more up here feasibly with two more panels we'd be fully running this boat

136
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:38,880
and then some wow well here let's try it so the trick is if i fall

137
00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:38,880
jump hard hey

138
00:09:38,959 --> 00:09:45,040
i'm good i got this yes

139
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:48,399
did you see the end flop out over sorry about that

140
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:53,920
well whatever the cloth might think about it the frame seems okay

141
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,519
i am completely expendable

142
00:09:53,920 --> 00:10:00,399
it's not like if i die everyone's out of work or anything we are inputting 500

143
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:05,360
watts 500 watts from the solar panels yes we are charging it'll be fully

144
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:08,160
charged in two and a half hours that is

145
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:12,800
sick while running everything that is awesome on the tech side of things the

146
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:17,040
m1 12.9 inch ipad pro is both the navigation and media hub when you're

147
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:20,880
steering from the cabin it resides in a 12 inch RAM mounts tablet mount above

148
00:10:18,959 --> 00:10:24,640
the helm keeping everything within ARM's reach from here you can flip through

149
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:28,720
charts and navionics view wind and weather information with windy and

150
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:32,880
control media or even watch a movie call and load it up with ipad os 15 beta 2 as

151
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,640
well to take advantage of the improved multitasking capabilities there's no

152
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:40,160
networking on the boat so an iphone is used as a wireless hotspot whenever it's

153
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:44,160
needed but that doesn't come up that often because the ipad and the apple tv

154
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:49,200
under the cabinet here can airplay without it

155
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:53,600
now the existing stereo didn't work but some new wires to the six and a half

156
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,880
inch kenwood speakers fixed that and i made these speakers

157
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:01,200
i think that looks pretty darn good so we're gonna get this whole boat and

158
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:05,360
span and uh we'll get Linus to give you a tour of the boat

159
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:09,760
a week of naggy little details later and the jackery install is finally complete

160
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:15,040
a custom bimini cover is being designed by north sales to hold three or four of

161
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:20,720
the solar saga 200 panels for a peak output of between 600 and 800 watts all

162
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:27,279
off the grid running all the tech on the boat that's the fridge freezer apple tv

163
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,680
and monitor power draw is around 360

164
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:34,720
watts that actually leaves us with a surplus of power that is until we add

165
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:38,959
the hot water tank to the mix with that we actually hit the maximum of 1500

166
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:43,040
watts that we can get out of a single socket on the jackery now the jackfruit

167
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:47,200
can output more it just needs to go through multiple outlets so fiddler has

168
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:51,440
come from being a tired trawler to a tech cruiser all thanks to jackery's

169
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:56,160
solar system so she'll be able to motor around to her heart's content with ample

170
00:11:53,519 --> 00:12:01,120
power to run all day and all night and even more importantly she'll do so

171
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,860
silently no generator noise just nice

172
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:06,399
quiet sunshine juice

173
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:14,320
which is a big plus for neighboring boaters or noise sensitive activities this was a

174
00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:18,639
huge build that took a ton of evenings and a lot of weekend work by colin and

175
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,760
his dad gerald so i'd like to thank them for their effort

176
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:27,680
thank them for their effort how did that end up in the script they're working on their boat i guess they did offer to

177
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:33,040
give me a ride though so that's cool oh and of course i've gotta thank zachary

178
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,040
again for sponsoring this video
