Coles\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobin G. Coles interviews Mark Rogers about Custominzing Electrical Panels and Wiring Harnesses. Inside you'll discover these key points: - Custom panels for a sailboat can have a selector switch for the navigation lights that is fed by a single breaker. - To connect a PC to a chart plotter to a VHF radio, use something like the Blue Sea #2408 or similar terminal block with little ring terminals for each connection. - To be able to switch between US and European shore power, install two different inlets on your boat and a selector switch to reconfigure the transformer. - You know it's time to replace the wiring on your boat when you see cracked insulation; the conductors are turning green, black, or crumbling; or if the wiring has been exposed to salt water and\/or the navigation lights aren't working properly. Check the wiring in the bilge pump. - Using automotive wire or, worse, housing wire, is illegal. - Make sure wires are properly terminated with crimped connectors or a proper type of Eurostyle terminal blocks. - Follow ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) guidelines. They are a standard-setting organization and many of their regulations closely follow national fire and electrical codes. - To prevent corrosion, spray wires with a dielectric protectant once a year when you're commissioning the boat. - Generic batteries last an average of three to four years. With premium batteries, like Rolls, plus well-regulated charging systems, the battery could last ten years or more. - A clever way to repair the rubber sleeve protector on an outboard external wiring harness is to open up a piece of split-loomed tubing, wrap it around the existing wiring harness, and secure the two ends with hose clamps or cable tie wrap. - Think about any add-ons or changes you might want to make in the future and design for those eventualities now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.12 x 8.5 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 17, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42722024259647,"sku":"9780983638117","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/14363c95420e83a44433d81dc3d50899.webp?v=1765094352","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/custom-electrical-panels-wiring-harnesses-an-interview-with-mark-rogers-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
