[Rhodes22-list] Panel wiring

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Reuben,

On my boat, I was able to take a wire coat hanger and unbend it.  This wire is stiff enough to push from the breaker panel under the companion way over to where the other wires exit into the gunnel area behind the starboard cockpit seats.  Once you get there, you can fish the cables back to the breaker panel.  It takes patience and a delicate touch.

On my boat, this cable is secured to the hull/deck joint by small retaining clamps and nylon cable ties.  You should be able to snip the cable ties with a pair of side cutters, run the new wire, and then secure the bundle to the same retaining clamps with new cable ties.  If you are a big person, there isn’t much room under the cockpit seat, so you might want to find a small assistant.  Good luck!
