Future power

Article Abstract:

The massive wiring harness, potentially troublesome to operate and often a nightmare to troubleshoot and repair when problems do arise, are the leading cause for accidents, which occur on modern cruising boats. A different approach is suggested to switching loads in which two heavy cables one positive and one negative are run the length of the boat.

A proper exhaust

Article Abstract:

Saltwater can destroy or damage marine engines, especially when at rest, because the water can fill the exhaust pipe and back up into the engine. Therefore, boats should correctly install exhaust systems to prevent problems.
