Jr Ready Deutsch connector kit and Crimper. Waterproof connectors

[@JonnyD3ath]

I did this to my stator last season with these exact connectors - it’s great. I just cut close to the stator instead because I didn’t want long wires hanging off the engine

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

Awesome!! I'm happy to hear you like them. Honestly, there isn't a wrong way it's just personal preference.

[@TheTexasDuke]

Great vid man I’m a little nervous still but I think I can do this

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

You got it!!

[@flow-fpv7781]

Are you using the DT2 Deutsch Crimp Tool or DT1 also is the kit a 16#Solid Contact as on amazon they have multiple options?

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

Dt2 tool and 16 solid

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

Sorry about that I didn't think about that. I'll post on the link to help others

[@flow-fpv7781]

Thanks legend keep up the great content I have learnt a lot! might even ship a motor to you from Australia someday to port =) @@EricksonMachinePerformance

Great video, do you know the difference between the DT2 & HDT-48?

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

They look similar. But I'm not sure the differences

[@briandockendorf8630]

Can't seem to find out if I have one wire in going to 5 places will the 1 pin power across all 5 pins

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

They are individually pinned

[@danebrewer10]

How do you find the crimps are if you dont know the gauge of if the wire you're using in advance? Eg if wiring from an existing loom or say adding a deutsch connector in place if an OEM one? Trial and error until you get a good crimp and hope you have enough wire to do it?😄

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

When u strip the wire you can figure out the gauge

[@danebrewer10]

@@EricksonMachinePerformance do you have a gauge for that or just see what hole it fits in to with your strippers?

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

@@danebrewer10 you can buy a gauge that shows which is what

[@danebrewer10]

@@EricksonMachinePerformance aah I have one on order, I just wondered if there was a voodoo magic way of knowing 😄

Dielectric grease then crimp

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

I'd have to look into that. I have never seen someone use it inside a crimp. I can see the logic in your comment, that being said I have never seen an OEM or high end shop use it that way. You normally use to seal the connectors, not the crimps. You want the crimp to be metal to metal contact.

[@GWAYGWAY1]

Too close to ECU no room to play about fitting.

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

I install them there on purpose. First, to keep them high in the hull farthest from sitting water and 2 to have the connector close to the rubber grommet to support the connector. I have done it this way for over 15 or so years with Zero issues. That being said, the placement is really a preference. But installing farther from the ebox, I have seen many of these get damaged from engine vibration. Thanks for commenting

Stop using the grease

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

These are used in a saltwater environment. There is a reason we use die electrical grease In a drier environment it's not necessary.

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

We have seen a HUGE difference using die electric grease. 👍 thanks for commenting

[@patgray9361]

That is a horrible demonstration. Why did you cut the harness so close to the box. If something goes wrong with that plug, you're SOL. Then why did you so much die Grease on one side of the pins. You smear a small amount on a clean surface Let's say a lid to something. Then you put the other rubber grummet over the connectors. And down a couple of inches nu dip the connectors Or one connector at a time on what you applied down on the clean surface. So just a tip of the metal Faster receives the die electric grease. And why did you smear Dialectric grease Over the entire rubber seal between where the 2 plugs connect. Why did you do this. You just created a short between all the of Metal male And female connectors. You can apply non contact dial. Ectric grease for waterproofing None dielectric grease. You also have to be careful on whatever grease or sealand It does not get hot and flow.

@patgray9361 read other comments. This has been answered already . This is setup for wet saltwater environment. It's all done for a reason. And the leads are kept short for a reason thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

@patgray9361 in freestyle jetskis and racing jetskis saltwater is a big issue. Keeping plugs sealed on jetskis is really difficult. They are known for sinking so extra effort is done. This method works. Assembling these plugs dry will lead to more issues in that try of environment. Thanks again for you kind comments. Best of luck.
