3Squids '87 Cuddy thread

[3 Squids]

Got off early today so messed with the boat some. I basically rewired the whole boat. I used most of the existing wires just cleaned the ends up. A lot of unnecessary splicing going on. I got it all wired up and nervously turned the battery switch on. No smoke so that's good. Bilge pump and pump in the fish box both came on great, float switch works great. All lights work, fuel gauge reads 1/2 tank which from what I can see from the side of the tank looks about right. Turned the motor over and tach turned right up. Still have to get the straight gas out and put premix in before I start her up but moving right along. I feel much better that I now know basically every inch of wire on the boat. Soldered and heat shrunk everything I could and used "marine" grade connectors for everything else. Supposed to be a washout here all weekend so looks like that may be all I get done. Kinda bummed out she won't be in the water this weekend.
