WEBVTT

00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:08.080
today we're doing something a little different jackery sponsored this video where we're

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

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:16.000
cram into it and hopefully we're approaching at the right angle here

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:20.960
because i can't freaking see where i'm going ladies and gentlemen hey how you

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:26.080
all doing guys hey a continuity error we're pretending it's still in the box

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:28.560
we're gonna have some fun today ladies and gentlemen

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.720
i

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:46.800
step one is to get the entertainment system going you can see we've got a

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.120
nice lounging sort of i don't know chezz

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

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

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

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:04.400
and they hopped him in a Floatplane and flew into the airport well the thing

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

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:12.200
as to such if there's waves it doesn't i can see it

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

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:21.439
the bed and watch or uh pull it over oh

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:25.360
you gotta wrong way what

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

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:32.000
to get done i'm going to be working on getting the jackery actually ready to

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:35.680
plug in so we're going to be taking this chunker extension cord we're going

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

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:42.880
below the floor and back to where the house wiring is where we're going to

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:46.720
connect it to a rotary switch so this is the front bridge and

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:49.520
there's some random wiring kicking around here but

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.799
critically there's a hole that goes down to by the steering wheel down below and

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

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:00.479
there we go okay that was easy where i'm laying now is

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:31.760
oh this is gonna take a while slightly awkward thing for compact space-saving

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:35.920
living arrangements um small tvs don't really exist anymore but that's okay

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

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

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

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

00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:00.959
cable well that's just light right in my eye

00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:03.120
i'm standing on the valve covers of a

00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:06.480
lovely ford diesel motor now i get to get comfortable again

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.360
get in there

00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.480
at least it's not 46 degrees

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

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

00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:29.440
be running off shore power and then the third input is just there because buying

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

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

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:41.280
going to be two hours of fiddling we've already got one thing that might bonus

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:46.720
here though colin uh there are several standards for the

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:50.480
vase amount in terms of spacing and the back of this monitor is kind of

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:55.120
stylistically curved uh there might be spacers in the uh in the hardware

00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:58.400
spacers all right yeah check the the beautifully laid out hardware kit that

00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:03.599
comes in those kanto mounts collins all into kanto now that they give his friend

00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:05.920
and his dad uh free mounts absolute

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

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:15.040
making some pretty good pride wow oh boy that's some samsung quality right there

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:19.199
maximum sag unfortunately our mounting kit only

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:21.919
comes with big old chungus wood screws because they assume you're going to do

00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:26.400
something sensible like screw into a stud but we don't have a stud

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:29.199
we just have this quarter inch wooden panel here so we had to go digging

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

00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:39.520
dreams to find some nuts and bolts and we did

00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:44.240
right against the window oh yeah cause you're gonna walk past it and stuff hey

00:04:41.919 --> 00:04:46.720
okay okay do you want to mark it i would like to

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

00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.880
too much about it being level because realistically all it takes is me to

00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:01.759
shift my body weight and we're gonna move it about four or

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:06.000
five degrees anyway so what's the deal you mentioned your

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

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

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:16.639
holders cool but we haven't actually taken the boat out really we took it

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:20.800
down the down the way once for five minutes and then back and then had lunch

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

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

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:32.639
have been putting like so much work into it lately well yeah summer's here we

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:35.759
want to go do things we're going to be checked out by the end

00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:38.759
of this video that's the dream on it goes

00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:43.520
hold on let's just yeah you don't really

00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:47.759
need that you want to pull it out

00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:52.080
comes out a little something like that ah

00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:53.520
oh yeah

00:05:52.080 --> 00:06:00.160
in true call and fashion we'll be mounting the apple tv using free php

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:04.560
am i just yellowing this collin just no rules no rules okay make our own

00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:09.120
rolls here is that cable management cut your mustard colin oh eight plus all

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

00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:17.600
should give you shore power that

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

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

00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:30.560
that turns on the monitor for my next project while calling diagnosis what's

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:34.960
going on with the power switch that hopefully works is to put these polk

00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:40.240
speakers up on the back deck here or excuse me the uh stern deck stern deck

00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:43.039
yes are these uh weather sealed columns yeah they're weatherproof and they're

00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:47.000
saltwater resistant the screw will go through

00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:56.240
this wall has seen some things okay this boat is 50 years old

00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:00.479
all wood man this would be a fun kind of project

00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:03.440
where's my dad's boat this is one small thing we may not have

00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:08.240
foreseen this uh appears to have a bit of a

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

00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:16.720
you go all right colin the good news is that

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

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

00:07:23.520 --> 00:07:29.360
the problem we're having is we've validated the power is getting through

00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:32.319
the switch but validated the switch functions validated the switch functions

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

00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:41.599
power to the outlets why are you not running so that's what we're diagnosing

00:07:39.039 --> 00:07:45.120
now the dud ac power switch ended up being human error cullen found a little

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:49.599
jumper that had fallen out of the first switch so with that fixed what can i

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

00:07:52.080 --> 00:07:57.919
found your subwoofer okay

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

00:07:59.440 --> 00:08:05.280
well now i don't have to keep asking colin what to do next

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

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.720
wall between the two seats

00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:19.599
i heard the shopback come on i think it's working now that we've got

00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:22.080
power we can fire up our monitor and uh

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

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:29.919
jackery has though obviously we're going to need to charge it so that

00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:33.440
is where these come in we've got not one not two not three

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:37.279
but four of these jackery solar generators and

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

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:45.360
more than enough to run everything that would like normally be running on the

00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:49.360
boat so we're pulling in wow it's still climbing at

00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:54.959
275 watts with uh two panels our draw right now with the

00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:56.959
apple tv and the actual monitor is 294

00:08:54.959 --> 00:09:03.120
watts okay so that speaker is definitely working now these guys are not going no

00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:03.120
they're not plugged in yet but base

00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:10.480
we're moored right now no turn up

00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:13.839
we're actually kind of getting there so right now two panels will run

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

00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:24.560
and we're now at 743 watts i'm checking out the solar

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

00:09:26.800 --> 00:09:32.880
more up here feasibly with two more panels we'd be fully running this boat

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

00:09:35.839 --> 00:09:38.880
jump hard hey

00:09:38.959 --> 00:09:45.040
i'm good i got this yes

00:09:42.640 --> 00:09:48.399
did you see the end flop out over sorry about that

00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:53.920
well whatever the cloth might think about it the frame seems okay

00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:55.519
i am completely expendable

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

00:09:58.160 --> 00:10:05.360
watts 500 watts from the solar panels yes we are charging it'll be fully

00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:08.160
charged in two and a half hours that is

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:12.800
sick while running everything that is awesome on the tech side of things the

00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:17.040
m1 12.9 inch ipad pro is both the navigation and media hub when you're

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:20.880
steering from the cabin it resides in a 12 inch RAM mounts tablet mount above

00:10:18.959 --> 00:10:24.640
the helm keeping everything within ARM's reach from here you can flip through

00:10:22.640 --> 00:10:28.720
charts and navionics view wind and weather information with windy and

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

00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:36.640
well to take advantage of the improved multitasking capabilities there's no

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:40.160
networking on the boat so an iphone is used as a wireless hotspot whenever it's

00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:44.160
needed but that doesn't come up that often because the ipad and the apple tv

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:49.200
under the cabinet here can airplay without it

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

00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:56.880
inch kenwood speakers fixed that and i made these speakers

00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:01.200
i think that looks pretty darn good so we're gonna get this whole boat and

00:10:58.800 --> 00:11:05.360
span and uh we'll get Linus to give you a tour of the boat

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.760
a week of naggy little details later and the jackery install is finally complete

00:11:07.760 --> 00:11:15.040
a custom bimini cover is being designed by north sales to hold three or four of

00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:20.720
the solar saga 200 panels for a peak output of between 600 and 800 watts all

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

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:29.680
and monitor power draw is around 360

00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:34.720
watts that actually leaves us with a surplus of power that is until we add

00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:38.959
the hot water tank to the mix with that we actually hit the maximum of 1500

00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:43.040
watts that we can get out of a single socket on the jackery now the jackfruit

00:11:41.040 --> 00:11:47.200
can output more it just needs to go through multiple outlets so fiddler has

00:11:45.040 --> 00:11:51.440
come from being a tired trawler to a tech cruiser all thanks to jackery's

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

00:11:53.519 --> 00:12:01.120
power to run all day and all night and even more importantly she'll do so

00:11:57.920 --> 00:12:02.860
silently no generator noise just nice

00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:06.399
quiet sunshine juice

00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:14.320
which is a big plus for neighboring boaters or noise sensitive activities this was a

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

00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:21.760
