Who was the dipstick that "wired" my boat and motor

[Maximerc]

What a mess Green wires running with Positive volatge. Red wires with Neg.The cigarette lighter was even wired so the outer case was the hot part. Wires from the engine not marked at all going to the battery (yea hook the black to Neg... what the ..they are all black !) The green wire was running voltage to the radio, which was not working. I ran new ground wires to all the stuff on that side ..then seeing that green wire hooked it to my ground..Ohh brother what a mess.Melt city ! Yea I know I shoulda checked it. I wire machines where I work, I can tell you one thing.. every thing is now straight and labeled....

I worked with a guy years ago, working with 25 pair cable, who I later found out was color blind!! Red, Green, same difference right?? He did absolutely great work, very clean and neat...only problem was ...nothing worked! <br /><br />I did learn this tho....<br /><br />There are old electricians<br />And , there are bold electricians<br />But, there are NO old, bold electricians <br /><br />Keep that DVM handy and assume nothing!

Maximerc, that boat worked fine when I had it. You must have messed with it. I rewired it just for you before I sold it. I would think you would be thanking me. Well, like the reciept said, as is, where is, so your on your own now.

Maybe the question is not what dipstick... but how many dipsticks have wired this boat. Your just lucky you dont have 110v on the boat also.

It was me I DID IT !!!!The ACME Sausage Company wire shop ran out of wire so I had to use what I had...but I did paint the terminal ends the right colours with my daughters water colour paint set. Is there a problem with that.I suppose youve gone & cut the coloured ends off Makes me so angry people criticising my work Hope this helps
