Good morning, Everyone.
I'm wondering if anyone can chime in on their experience with updating the wiring and electrical on an older boat.
I have a good understanding of DC electrical systems, and a lot of experience diagnosing and repairing them as well.
I'm just looking for others' experience with what worked best to complete the project, and maybe what to avoid....
The boat belongs to my brother and I, and is a 1987 Hourston Glascraft 18.2 Hardtop w/bulkhead. The drive is a Volvo Penta AQ211A (305 cu.in GM/290 SP outdrive)
Options?
-Purchasing a generic harness made to spec
-Sourcing an OEM Volvo Penta harness
-Building a harness from scratch on site
-Not bothering to replace the harness and gauges at all, and just repairing what's there
Thank you!
