Electrical Check out is complete.
We now have full
120 VAC on all outlets aboard and new GFCI's where needed.
This eliminated extension cords while working on board.

A reminder that the front half of the boat was submerged for 10+ minutes.
Many people thought we had to replace all the DC wiring that was dunked.
But I got very lucky and found the guy who actually wired my Boat!
Hunter boats "1-One service" available thru SBO. [
Joe Kerr wired it]
That find of Joe, amazed
PIC and the Dock Yard guys.
Asked Joe about the need to replace the submerged wire and terminals.
Ans: No.
But recommended these steps.
1) Clean terminals of salt water, etc.
2) Attach and verify circuit. [we used clamp on DC amp meter and DVM]
3) Detach and coat terminals with
Anti-Ox to prevent corrosion. Attach again, or in a few cases ,
Liquid Tape to cover terminal.
4) Verify circuit was good.
Again my luck, my Son-In-Law, Johnny, is a ABYC electrician.

We had at least 40 DC circuits aboard.
___
The time limiting item is still the "Fix or Replace" our 9k Generator, which is 120 VAC supply.
In this Electrical Check out, I have been able to control the Labor sources. Not true on other restoration, that is Labor limited.
