Fantastic build. Not certain what gauge wire you are using. We used 4 gauge wire to be a little overkill. Please keep us updated.

[@powerfulimprovements]

8 gauge

[@ronjclm8590]

@@powerfulimprovements On my Titan reels. They recommended 6 gage wire. I used 4 gage. If the wire is too thin, it will reduce the life of the motors @$250 each.

Great setup Joe, on the hose reel that was bent , I think you should adjust the sprocket on the motor and that should line up your chain perfectly. Might just save you sending it back. Rock on bro 😎

Yeah I recall seeing a video where a guy was pretty pissed that his badass new systems weak point was the tiny hole in the unloader. And drilled it out if I remember. So I'm wondering the same thing. Would there be a better fit? Or is there no difference.

[@thinredlinesoftwashllc9685]

This is awesome. Great job. Question about grounding the battery to the skid. Does that mean the negative leads from your PW and reels need not be connected to anything since they are grounded to skid.

[@powerfulimprovements]

The negative leads should be mounted to the machine frame work which is mounted to the skid which is grounded

[@BirrrFinancialContents]

Is the 12v battery enough for the electric hose reel? Somehow mine is not turning more than 2 seconds

[@powerfulimprovements]

Marine deep cycle. No problem

[@alhydrowash9989]

I appreciate you!

[@SunSweepingServices]

Hey bro I was watching your video and I don’t know if it’s too late or not but at about 1:55 i’m wondering how long the actual electric motor shaft is and if you can loosen up the grub screws that are holding that gear and push it out a little further so that it lines up with the chain and the other gear. You may have already done this but I thought I would point it out.

[@powerfulimprovements]

I appreciate that. The gear was already at the end of the shaft. Sent it back and new one on its way currently

[@richdewitt760]

Looks great Joe. Maybe get a 2nd marine battery in parallel with the existing battery, as you have reels plus a larger soft wash pump this year so I assume will draw a bit more between charges--your thoughts Sir? Rich

[@powerfulimprovements]

Very likely will add a second. Looking at a sole charger to keep topped off

[@ronjclm8590]

Why not run a cable to the trucks battery and let the truck recharge the battery as you drive. The trucks alternator has a regulator that will monitor the charge of whatever is hooked to it. I have a few enclosed trailers with a 12volt winch operating the rear ramp door. The trailers have a deep cycle battery in them and a wire running through the 7 blade trailer wiring harness to the "always hot" lug in the 7 blade trailer plug on the back of the truck. Also. I got tired of buying batteries for my dump trailer and 70 hp brush chipper etc. and ran a #2 cable from my truck battery, to the back of my truck and have a quick connect "Anderson" 12v electrical connector attached beside my trailer light connector. So...NO battery at all. Batteries don't last as long as they once did. especially is they are not used daily.

After buying three 50’ hose from home depot and putting all together with quick connects along with a spare 50’ as well, now my downstream injector doesn’t want to draw chem at all.
