Damn it Jeff, Only adding to my to do list just a little . Currently a Auto/Truck tech, starting in computers and electronics in the mid 70's. I had a Marine Survey done after I bought the old girl 1967 Hatteras 31C. Already knew about some dead end factory runs, Water heater, Generator, and cook top removed at some point. Learn something new every day didn't think anything of the GFCI outlet in the engine room for the charger :O I even re-read the survey and that wasn't mentioned, of course got a refresher on my to do's In a way I got lucky even though it was built in 1967 I was able to get the as built factory manual. Most OE wire numbers are still in place and as it gets rewired are easy to re-label. :P Love the videos, I may be an old fart but still learn something new pretty much daily. As I get more into the marine version of everything Over looked stuff like a AC outlet not being in the ER makes perfect sense, Thanks again for another great video.

I m glad i watch this video, i was thinking of installing a 120v outlet box in the engine compartment for night cruising lights for the cockpit. I will plug in the lights from an in cabin existing box. Thank you.

@ 20:00 .. "power share". A feature most boats don't utilize.. The combi 100amp chargers capable of drawing over 20 amps easily can produce some nice warm breakers and the loose terminals screws, and worn out shore ends/pedistals are ingredients for soft diarrhea plastic.

This is fantastic material. The analogies were quite useful for visualization.

A question if I may. I'm rewiring a 27 ft sailboat. Are you in favor of running homeruns/direct from switch to load,or throw a terminal strip in. I ask for running to my stern light, wires go through the stainless tube. Decisions thanks mike

[@PacificYachtSystems]

Huge fan of terminal strips, but not everyone agrees.

[@redwood1957]

@@PacificYachtSystems I went with t-strips,crimps,shrink wraps on ring terminals a little locktight. If you ever have to splice there it is

Our insurance company does not allow anything except Marine Grade Tinned Wire. I told them over the phone that because our sailboat is a 1979 sailboat, and all original, we are going to rewire it. They told me, "You must not put anything that is not made for marine use to be mounted as part of the electrical system in the sailboat. You must only use Marine Grade Tinned Wire. If you use residential, RV or Auto electronic components or wires, we will cancel your policy." Then they sent me a letter with all of that stated in the letter. Even though in 1979, they did not use tinned wire in Day Sailors and Trailerable Sailboats, when replacing wires or electronic components, they must be up to my Insurance Agencies Code Requirement. Our company is Geico and is labeled as Boat US or something like that. I also told them I used to work at a Corvette Dealership in the Body Shop and Service Department, that we would do a few boats a year for regular Corvette customers. They sent me a request for me to do a self inspection of the sailboat and send them the report. I did not do it, because the boat would not be in the water for over a year and was being worked on already. We enjoy these videos.

[@rusmiller816]

That poor guy thought he had a boat but learns it's a bomb.

[@PacificYachtSystems]

Happens to too many of us, no lack of dangerous creativity on boats.
