Thats what I was thinking. I guess I could do it myself but I know I def dont have the patience for this. Ill start cutting and yanking shite after I get pissed off

I just would rather way to have it done right and save me the headache of setting my boat on fire

Hell, I'll do it for $800

I love wiring boats and cars. Been doing it since I was 14.

I used to rip out stereos just to put a new one in for no other reason, except being bored. Now i dont even feel like taking my door panels off to put in new door speakers.

But seriously, if you would want to drop it off in BR I would gladly fool with it over a weekend. Once I see how bad it really is we could talk a price but it would definitely not be $1000

I would offer to help because I also like doing that stuff but I would defiantly bring it to CP3, he's a wiring expert.

It shouldn't be that bad of a job honestly. I would assume the factory wiring for gauges and motor stuff should be fine. HIGHLY unlikely any of that is damaged. Just need to separate them from ACC wiring and re bundle.

Switches, audio, and trolling motor should be as simple as re-wiring or re-terminating. More of a tedious job than a difficult one.

Is your main battery under the center console? Or are those just for trolling motor?

What GPS/boat? Should be able too, just wondering if we're talking a 7" plotter or a full blown offshore setup.

Any cutting involved? I'm not a huge fan of slicing up someone else's fiberglass

is all of that white wiring Romex?


I thought, no way, that's gotta be the result of the picture angle or something like forced perspective. I zoomed in and... Oh lawd, that is romex

I thought I was crazy for a second.

I mean there's technically no reason it cant be used, but that's an expensive and difficult wire to run. Looks like it goes into the hull though so you might as well re-use it

Yea, the dude is a complete electrical nerd . He's been wiring and re-wiring everything I own since we were kids. House, appliances, truck, boat, 4 wheeler, you name it
