More wiring staked down and orginized

End of August- Paradise Village Marina in Puerto Vallarta Mexico

 

These are under the deck by the Navigation Station. We have a 1978 Islander Freeport and I think the 1979 have this access. In later models I believe Islander did away with this hatch. We ran wires from the back of the nav station in the lazerett to under the settee to the house batteries from this location and the other which was under the nav station desk itself.

 

We are still not done in this location but as you can see the wires are getting staked down and so secured and organized.

Chaos rains supreme here behind the Nav Station!

 

Debbie working behind the louvered access door to the lazerett where the wiring is. A lot of the time we have to wiggle inside this door to reach the wiring way up and back. Not an easy deal and to work in there is even harder. Really need four hands so another person handing wire ties and screws etc from up top is a help but it still is a, well - it makes for a limited time that day for type of job.

 

Those are Debbie's hands stripping a wire and will put a new

terminal end on them after she shortened them.

Smiling and it is about 94 deg and 86 percent humidity

with the breeze not yet here as it is mid morning!

 

We also by-passed the switch and breaker for the wind generator

so we can test it and see if either one is bad. Not enough wind yet for the test.

Progress is being made though!
