Hi everyone,

I went to work on the boat yesterday. Although I hadn't planned it, I ended up working on the electrical system. I have been dreading messing with the electrical system because I've known for months that it was a TOTAL mess.

To make a long story short, I've just about got it whipped. Take a look at the CRAP that I removed ... this is most (but not quite all) of the stuff I pulled out that had NO purpose whatsoever (wires that went nowhere, etc.):

I could just about start an electrical salvage store with this stuff! BTW, that black box in the middle of the pile is some sort of battery connector that is made for a trailer/RV ... it proves once again that there is never a dull moment when trying to figure out what a PO has done and why ... !

As Curly once said,

Imagine what the next owner of "Freya" is going to say! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
