Feeling Wired


The more I've been trying to make the existing wiring work, The more I've come to realize that what Eclipse really needed was all new wiring. I purchased a goodly roll of 16 gauge Marine wire for all o
the lighting and created trunk cables for core circuits, labeling everything in the process. I know that at some point I'm going to need to do some sort of repairs and having my wires labeled now will make my job that much easier a year or two years from now when something goes awry or modification is required.

A new radio was installed as well and this also called for a new through hull connection. New RG58 coax cable and pl259 connectors were installed.

The process of changing out all the wiring on the boat is slow, tedious and intricate work but it needed to be done. Now I need to order some 16 AWG Marine cable for the radio.  The Projects never end.
