Marine Electrical Systems, Vol. 6: Wiring and Connectors

Sailors often spend thousands on marine batteries and electrical accessories, but pay little attention to the wires and connections where failure typically occurs. A bulletproof marine electrical system depends on the tools and materials that will stand up to the harsh marine environment. Substandard wire, bargain crimpers, and cheap automotive connectors won’t do.

In Wiring and Connectors, from the ebook series Marine Electrical Systems, Practical Sailor‘s editors make sure that a short-circuit or bad connector doesn’t disable your navigation electronics or worse—blow your entire 12-volt system. If you’re rewiring your boat, installing a new device, or just trying to troubleshoot wire runs, in this this book you’ll discover:

-The tools and tricks pros use to make rewiring fast and easy.
-How a unique terminal block simplifies joining tiny wires.
-The best anti-corrosion greases for the marine environment.
-Why some heat-seal connectors will never meet industry standards.
-Which waterproof connectors actually keep water out.

More and more, sailboats need power. Let Practical Sailor show you how to properly outfit your boat.
