Buster Boat Question
Hi all!
I have an older Buster boat (the larger model, two swivel seats, two side seats). I want to re-run the wiring that goes from the rear battery area to the front trolling motor area. I thought that if I removed the gromets on each end, taped the new wire to the old wire, that I would be able to pull the old wire through and voila! it would be rewired. But, the wire won't budge, even without the grommets in place. Does anybody know how re-wiring is typically done? And how did they put the wire in place when they assembled the thing? Any input is greatly appreciated! ______________________________________________ for the best apology five dollars can buy visit www.ItsALLMY****ingFault.com |

That's probably why it won't budge. Peter Eikenberry newboatbuilders.com |

Peter Eikenberry newboatbuilders.com Thanks for the info Peter. But um...how then does one go about replacing the wiring??? The boat seems to be pretty much all one piece...what's the secret? How would a professional do it? |

How would a professional do it?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It really depends on the boat, but many builders use some sort of conduit to run the wiring through. Some times you can use an electricians snake to pull the wire through. Sometimes they put in spare wires. Check a tool rental place and see if you can rent an electrician's snake and run it through. Or you can call Buster Boats and ask them. http://busterboats.com/ |
