[QUOTE="InSaneFisherMan, post: 476695, member: 26281"] Seen a few post about boat wiring requirements. I would recommend that anyone wiring or doing wire repair meet the standards set by ABYC or the attached Handbook, but per the attached document: Note from page 3 of Boat Builders Handbook (2003) - Electrical Boats powered with outboard engine(s) are not subject to these regulations unless there is also a gasoline powered engine installed on the boat such as a gasoline powered auxiliary generator. The outboard motor and its associated control wiring are excepted. Associated control wiring includes power cables, ignition wires, gauge wires, etc. A battery used only for the trolling motor becomes part of its associated control wiring and is therefore not subject to the regulation’s requirements, including the battery securing and restraint requirements of 183.420.
