Boat rewire

[latravcha]

Ok looks like the wiring on my boat is shot. I have corrosion 3 foot from the end on most wires so I see a need to completely rewire the boat. Has anyone ever done this and if so do you mind sharing what it cost you? Also can anyone recommend someone who may do this? I would try and do it myself but don't have the time. I have customers I have to take out for the oilmans, the SC trip first weekend in June, and a company tournament the weekend after that so I need it done before the SC trip.

What kind of boat?

[latravcha]

22' blazer bay. Looks like tinned wire was not used from the factory.

Man that sucks. The factory won't take care of it.

No it is an 06. Looks like half is tinned wire half is not. Splices are non shrink wrap splices, no dielectric grease used. Just a mess. Only good thing is I think I can save the yamaha harness.

I got a price from a place in new ibera that I was told to go to and he wants 5K. I'm going pick it up in the morning I would do a Jerry rig and sell it before I paid that.

Yes.....Ken is the best around. Some don't like his attitude. But he's good! Not really bad attitude he's just kinda dry.

I'll do it for a little less than that. I just did the wiring in my boat. All tinned marine wire, adhesive lined heatshrink connections, waterproof switches, fuse panel.

I wired these things up. Navigation lights, Trolling motor, Stereo, 2 Depth Finders, Bilge Pump, accessory socket, led ambient lighting.
The cost really sucked, but I've been waiting over a year since I bought my boat to do this (had some other mods to do before permanently wiring). I wouldn't want to do it again and I'm very happy I didn't cheap out, its worth it in the long run.

I paid a good bit for materials as it can take a good amount of wire depending on how its wired up, battery placement etc. I used 200ft of wire in my boat (16ft) to give you an idea...feel free to msg me if you have any ?s
