AAAaaaarrrg!
Installing a new bilge pump I have found no less than 4 sets of wires that
are just cut amidships. The battery charger wires were just shoved into ring
terminals but not crimped. A single black wire w/o terminal attached to a
POS battery terminal - I can not find the other end anywhere! I killed my
starting battery. I left the switch on #1 (starting batt), shore power off,
solar panels on, all other switches off. As far as I know nothing is wired
direct to the batts not even bilge pumps at this time. Starting battery went
dead, as in 0.00 volts, in 24hrs.
OK that's my rant. (that was just a sample).
Any suggestions for tracing the wiring and drawing it up on paper? Is there
a way to attach an RF transmitter to one end of a wire then track it with a
receiver? Best way to label wires?
Well thanks for being here. I'll be taking life one wire at a time from now
on.
