I was kind of embarrassed by her outwardly appearance, so I took some time to address that.

Brings back memories of when I decided to clean out wiring from a few generations of electronics in my V-20. Two Saturdays and two 5 gallon buckets nearly full of old wire. What a difference all cleaned out, terminal blocks not corroded any more and new wires and connections done with waterproof heat shrink ends. Very satisfying.

It's a good feeling when you're out on the water knowing that its done. And the plus side is if you have a problem, it will be a whole lot easier to find and correct.
