Last spring I took on what I expected to be a project that would take a few weekends - I had a couple of new "toys" to add to the boat and was going to use that as the excuse to take the opportunity to clean up some of the factory wiring on my Sea Hunt BX24 bay boat. Overall the wiring was certainly functional and safe, but I wanted to reroute some of the wiring to make more efficient use of the space in the console, as well as generally upgrade some of the electrical systems and just generally "clean up" things in the process. Well, a few weekends turned into almost 4 months, but the end product came out great (if I say so myself), and what's more important is I know every in and out of my boat's electrical system so that should there ever be a problem in the future I will l know exactly where to look (and, also who to blame).
This series of articles will document some of the key aspects involved in a rewiring project, including best practices as recommended by the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC). Regardless of if you are just adding a new fish finder or doing a complete rewire of a large craft, hopefully there will be some useful tips and tricks that you will learn.
