Note the short tail on the knot and the lack of whipping. This knot is all

Hi:
I am also surprised at the general condition of the bilge area. Note
the yellow crimp-on butt wire connector. I think an adhesive lined
shrink tube is preferred in that application. Add the lack of wire
fastening every 9". Also, the galvanized elbow (boats are not a
house), wire hose clamps, and of lesser concern the excessive tail on
the other hose clamps. Personally, I prefer no more than 3/4" tail on
hose clamps. Cant stand getting snagged on those tails. But that
requires measuring the hose OD then sizing the AWAB clamp. I have two
hose sizes on board: 1 ½" and ¾". Standardization makes sizing easy
and cheep. Reduces the number of part inventory.

In other words, what I saw indicated: 1) lack of understanding of
preferred/best practices or 2) lack of concern. Now take that attitude/
ability and apply it boat wide.

So what do you think:
A) Lackadaisical
B) Ignorant
