boat wiring

Post: # 12608Post YDOC462 »

question: is it better to use a manufactured boat wiring harness or just wire everything from scratch?


im starting from a blank slate, need to wire gauges, nav lights, interior lights, bildge pump, fuel pump, etc.

any suggestions on a particular harness?

Myself I like to wire everything that way I know how long or short to make the wire, but that's just me. Have you gotten your top hull painted?

You will have to make it, there isn't anyone making them aftermarket.

This is why when I cut up aboat for the junk pile usually a big crusier I keep all the wiring for future use . :up: It comes in handy . I like the looks of the link you posted thought might work in the boat Im working on next.
