  • Boat Radio – The Boat Galley – 52. Weird Wiring Colours

    A short and sweet show from Carolyn Shearlock this week. As those of you who follow The Boat Galley on Facebook already know, she has been extremely busy with hurricane recovery and the Annapolis Boat Show.

    Weird wiring is the subject. Have you ever tried to trace the wiring on an old boat only to find the previous owners have used the colours incorrectly? Or even that a single connection will change colour as it passes through a bulkhead?
    Well, Carolyn has the solution.
