CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

[Stuart York]

I plan to completely rewire my 28ft steel hulled pleasure fishing boat over
the winter. Can anyone direct me to a site that can help me with circuit
diagrams?

Thanks in Advance

The second to last demonstrates how cutting costs with the wrong type of
wire will lead to problems very quickly. Ensure you use tinned copper wiring
products. See the last link for example cable.

I have just completed overhauling the electrics on a 22ft boat built 1985.
The original wiring system was well harnessed with each individual wire
correctly numbered at each end but standard copper wire (not tinnned) was
used and every wire had corroded black almost throughout it's length.
Whereever it was cut the copper was black and difficult to make good
connections to.
