that looks good Stingy! I contemplated following the ABYC color code but end the end was to cheap to buy all the different color wires. couple that with only having a few things wired in made me content to just use red and black
Congrats on the job. Nice work.I suppose with that post comes the conclusion of my rebuild thread. all I have left now is to wetsand and buff the port side of the boat... I did install some mastgates from mastgates.com yesterday, they are fantastic, as I heard they would be!
Whats next? well... back to what I was SUPPOSED to be doing this past spring before I broke the keel hanger bolt... this poor gal had already had the cap removed and I was in the process of removing the splashwell when peewee stole my attention. I put the cap back on and she got stuck in the woods. I guess its time to pull her back out and get going again. She is a Kevlar ex-marathon race boat. I am (obviously) doing a FULL rebuild on this, with all coosa (for weight savings and never having to worry about rot again).
Sorry. I just had to comment on colour coding wires. Some people seem to be lazy and repair existing wiring with whichever colour wire they have at hand. Mixing different colours in a single run. :naughty:Good looking work, Hawk232
One point that I haven't seen anyone bring up in this wiring discussion is color coding. Mostly it's not a big deal unless you're a recovering perfectionist like I am, but it does become practically important if you intend to add shore power to your boat. In that case, black AC wires and black DC wires don't play well together and make circuit tracing a nightmare. For that reason, the ABYC color code for negative DC conductors is yellow.
