That was one job I really enjoyed when I did my boat. It was just so satisfying yanking out the complete disaster of wiring and taking my time to replace it with neat and tidy wiring.
Get yourself some good tools if you don't already have any.
Klein makes a great wire stripper (blue handle) and a wire crimper tool. Titan ratcheting crimper is a good tool. A small butane torch for heat shrinking.
Not sure if your doing battery cables or not but you will need a big battery lug...
I hear you Peahead. Getting multiple quotes for insurance is a pain in the butt. Just trying to understand the coverage and legal mumbo jumbo between each policy is difficult.
My problem is I have an old boat that's been rebuilt. Some companies don't even want to touch it I.e Portside insurance...
I got a quote back from Hub. So far they are the cheapest but they aren't providing the same amount of coverage as I currently have.
It's looking like the usual case of "you get what you pay for".
I'm in the process of getting a couple of quotes for my upcoming boat insurance. I feel I am paying too much with my current place for the value of the boat.

My question is: On one of the applications (Hub Insurance) they ask for the Previous Insurer, The...
IMHO i think anybody that owns a boat should be reasonably mechanically inclined or at least be prepared to learn.

Hopefully that is The problem..
After rewiring my boat a number of years ago the peace of mind it brings is huge.
It was a typical old boat with a **** show for wiring.
There is an interesting article in this month's Pacific Yachting magazine about FIRES.
I rebuilt my 18.5 DE back in 2011 and spent what I thought was a crazy amount back then.
I could only imagine what it costs now.
Did it once back then. Would never do it again.
For the longest time i had always wanted to get into a 21 Monaro. That dreams dead. I'll stick with what I got.
I would like to trade a 10# and a 15# cannonball that I have and never use for 2-12# cannonballs.
I only ever use 12 lbers and don't need the 10 and 15 lbers.
I was thinking straight trade... no cash involved.
I'm in Burnaby.
I was. It's like shooting fish in a barrel out there.
Small pink squirt hootchies....same as sockeye stuff. Pick a flasher...it probably doesn't matter which one. 50 feet... sit back and wait 5 minutes or less....repeat.
