Dr. Mike's "22-2"...

My 2000 200 Osprey wiring looks like someones monkey was in the console, and then they mounted two batteries in front of it all. When I need to check anything, pull battries and run battery cables. good luck doc.

Going out there right now to start the dismantling process...

So the real truth comes out, once I cut about 8 zillion tie-wraps...




Now that I know what I'm up against, well, I'll post my progress...

Remember, one step at a time...

Man what a mess. Bob I can tell you where a eng. So was I for a defence contracter. Can't stand seeing wring that puts a birds nest to shame. Spent to many years looking at good wiring jobs. Tech's use to show me all their tricks when I first went to work there. Now a days I do all my own wiring. which drives the boat dealers around me nuts.

Bonz,
From a structural standpoint, i.e. cockpit sole, console install, hardware, T-Top/upper station, transom, she feels very solid, no complaints.  But they should take the guy they had wire the boat out back and shoot him!!! :evil:  :evil:  :evil:

Thats ok....because now you get to exterminate it....

 

[bonz]

Haaa....It looks like a real mess.....Thx Bob...Yeah I keep going back and forth about how to redo my boat. Foam or wood I think I'm gonna go with the Nidacore thats on that boat..Thats gotta save so much weight.

Bonz,
From what I can see, hatches, etc., are cored with Nidacore.  The structural aspects of the boat are excellent!  It's the wire rats who should be shot...

If you want any more pics, let me know...

  Yeah, right.  I've seen them before.  If it was a liquid I would call them snake oil.

[seabob4]

Well, JJ,
