Title: How NOT to rig a boat, part 2! Sterling...
Post by: seabob4 on September 21, 2011, 10:11:19 AM: A guy on THT contacted me about what he should do with this mess THAT CAME STRAIGHT FROM THE STERLING PLANT!!! 2010 Sterling flats boat, fairly pricey...

Now is that a mess, or what! Aaron, your boat was neat compared to that!! The boat is now back at the plant so they can try and "clean it up". I hope they hired a different electrician... :shock: :shock:

Still, some people will complain if you hang um with a new rope. :wink:

Are you talking about the yellow cable, dogboned up and taped? That is a Garmin NMEA 2000 network cable...

Extension cord is extra... :lol:

Well kiss my grits.
I run a cord just like that every year for my Christmas lights. :shock:
