[QUOTE="Bob Landry, post: 261329, member: 7025"] Very nice work. Having been in the marine business for 15 years, I've run into a lot of atrocities like that. It's usually a result of an owner adding or replacing equipment with no qualifications to do the job. You'll run into a lot of interesting situations such as hanging wire ends, wire sized incorrectly for the application, and some of the most interesting being different colors of wire, spliced together because that's what Gilliedgan had in his junk box. makes it fun tacing down a problem. Too bad most people don't know what tie-wraps are. They're cheap and they really make the job loook finished. I picked up a G3 CC a few months ago that had alligator clips on the bilge and bait pump because the boat had sat outside and all of the electrical had corroded and stopped working. It was a salt water boat so that added to the problems. The solution was to rewire the entire boat. [/QUOTE]
