| Looks like colored spaghetti to me |
Lately we have been tracing all the various cables/wires running into and out of our nav station...aka....chasing the spaghetti monster as I like to call it.

| Sabrina in The Hole |
Approximately 75% of ALL of our cabling runs from the cockpit locker (port side) through 3 very full holes in the fiberglass into the space behind our nav station.

| 3 holes in fiberglass leading into nav station |
All the cables were so tight in those 3 holes we had to drill a new 1" hole in order to run the cable for our new wifi booster The Bullet. Slowly but surely we are getting everything ID'd and labeled.

While most of the cabling is neatly bundled up with zippy ties and plastic wire loom, none is labeled - ARGH!
Ours was similar Sabrina except it was labeled with numbers that corresponded to a wiring diagram(sort of). Going to mostly NMEA 2000 and eliminating the mux really cleaned ours up and it is much simpler now.

ReplyDeleteWe use these at work, that way the label is built into the zip tie
Sarah - thanks for the link. Those won't work in this case because we will need to zippy tie all the cables back in bundles but these would be great in other areas of the boat.
