[Alberg30] Winter Maintenance and Restoration

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Richard,

When I rewired Carina Vela 14ga tinned was chosen for a few reasons

1) I purchased 500 feet of each color at .06 per foot (wholesale).
2) In using 14ga, if any patina should begin to migrate into the wire the
14ga should exhibit a minimal level of resistance and not cause any issues.

The wiring was completed four years ago and I must say I have not had any
electrical issues. Another suggestion is to number point to point when
laying out your circuits, this helps in trouble shooting at a later date if
problems exist.

Regards,
Stephen

I plan to pull Sunspur (235) out of Quantico and up to Carlisle PA for 4-5
months of winter maintenance/restoration.  I have X# of thoughts/questions:
1. Inactivity.  Will boat out of water create additional maintenance tasks,
e.g., seals, thru-hulls, etc. going bad, drying, whatever?

2. Wiring.  Saw the great article in this months Mainsheet, but must ask
someone whether there is an A30 approved solution.  Are there "preferred"
wiring (gauges) for running and masthead lights (my breaker panel is over
engine, under companion way, next to ice-box)?  Carina Vela restoration page
suggests a common gauge for all wiring.  Cost/benefit of purchasing one
spool of "common denominator" gauge tinned wire to handle most vs.
individual gauges for various lenghts.  Bottom line:  I'm looking for an/the
approved solution...x gauge wire used on electrical A, y gauge used on B and
Z gauge used on C.

3. Lastly, boat hauler names and numbers should our group trailer buy fall
thru (and it's looking weak).
Thanks.
