SCHEMATIC!
Your A.C. and D.C. boxes should contain a!
schematic of the wiring, with identification numbers.!
The wiring must be installed as high as possible in!
the boat. As much as possible, avoid using the bilge!
for this purpose. If you must go through the bilge,!
place the wire in a hose and seal both ends with!
silicone.!
SOLDERING!
All connections should be soldered and covered!
with silicone to avoid electrolysis and oxidation.!
They should also be covered with waterproof tape.!
Do not use black household tape for this purpose.!
Rather use the grey type which is especially designed!
for marine environments.!
TOOLS!
Before you start, make sure that you have the!
proper tools required to strip the wires, crimp the!
end fittings on the wires and properly solder them.!
This will help your work considerably.!
Colour CODE!
It is not necessary to use colour coded wire!
for your system. In doing so, you would have to buy!
shorter lengths of wire in several colours, greatly!
adding to the cost of the project. It is simpler to!
buy one colour of double-wire and to identify both!
ends of the wire with alphabetical or numerical!
markers that are made expressly for this purpose.!
