The Joys of Boating

In my experiance the problems i have had on most boats have been with wireing and standing rigging. standing rig i usually have enough stuff to fix it on hand. but a short or a loose wire in the bilge etc can cause things to go gunnybags at the wrong time. most of the electrical is coverd up so you cannot see what is wired correctly and what is not . Rewiring an old boat first off would be my inclination too. 20-40 year-old wire, and 20-40 years of hatchet jobs done to the wiring by "sailors." No thanks! . Even on a new Mac 26M first thing you do if you intend electrical additions is toss the stock electric panel and get a beefier one that fits your needs. --Vic |
