Rat's Nest Wiring


My friend Victor showed me a photo of what he called rat's nest wiring in his 1930's wooden gaff rigged "Chiquita". Compared to my setup I would call Victor's more of a mouse nest.

This is a photo of the wiring of Pachuca's master panel. It represents 27 years of additions, removals, and changes. Many of the removals were unfinished in that this boat still has redundant wiring that I hunt down and remove at every opportunity.

I've got to be realistic and concede that it is unlikely that I will ever totally rewire the boat, although I'll probably attack it piecemeal.

  1. Had no idea Pachuca was that old! It's doing well!
