Any suggestions for wiring for a boat? I've done plenty of car audio wiring, but this would be my first attempt at replacing some wiring. Thanks guys. I have a ton of wires going all over the place, and they have to be organized, and some of them rewired.

everytime i try to re-organize, i end up ripping out & starting over. i would recommend tinned wire for the long run and i used a mini-tourch to solder(sp?) the terminals and cover with heat shrink.

Tinned wire recommended. I started trying to reorganize and ended up stripping everything out as well.

Make sure you protect each joint or tip with heat shrink tubbing or some of the pre rigged heat shrink tips. Liquid electrical tape for open connection. I put liquid electrical tape over my connections on the ground or possitive block.
