Hummmm, back to that electrical system... Thank you, I have been
thinking about building a new wiring harness, maybe it's time.

It costs 8 times as much to wire the 12VDC system in a 30' boat,
than it does the 120/240VAC electical system in a 20000 sq ft
house.

And the BOAT system is just screwed into the plastic!

Guess he hasn't seen the price of copper lately 20 years ago I
bought a house and it had knob and tube. One outlet and one socket in
each first floor room, two lights and furnace/water in the basement,
no sockets, and no service to the second floor or attics! Three full
time, licenced and fully equipt electricians, and me actually
retrofitted the whole house to code. 4 of us working, 8 hour days,
five of them to do the whole place, clean up on sat morning. It cost
me a little over 400 for materials, and if the electrical contractor
had not owed a favor, the labor would have been unreal.

My 16 foot skiff runs lights, compass, fishfinder, and trolling motor.
I have enough unused wiring harnesses from trailer light sets to do
the job. Connectors, bus, new light switch might run me 50 bucks
total... And I will be screwing into wood... geeze, plastic. I keep my
bleach in plastic
