She is a natural project manager. She watches over the details while seeing the larger overall project. Man I wish i could afford them to work on my boat.
I'm gathering sources and material for 100% rewire and instrument replacement on my 1990 23' Wellcraft Cuddy Cabin: this video gave me a quick visualization of what to shoot for. Thanks. I had trouble changing out lights in my 1990 Holiday Rambler motor home because I spent 34 years as an Electrician working with A.C. current and I finally figured out that with D.C. the black wire is not the hot wire and the white wire is not the neutral. Now today I learn that yellow doesn't mean Lighting Circuit. It's a whole different ball-game.
The best way I organized the wiring on my boat is I got rid of the old problem after problem and bought a new one. Hope this helps many with troublesome spaghetti boat wiring of days old
Very nice quality work! You should consider bridging your main power wires onto the switch clusters into the middle position switch instead of an end ( you may have to change to a yellow colored - 12-10GA female blade connector to fit 3 wires into it though). This will give you less voltage drop to the far end switch because the paths are shorter. I did a LOT of similar work as an AT&T tech for harnesses for -48VDC powered equipment, and we used waxed polyester twine to bundle and lace harnesses, as it was cheaper than cable ties, didn't take much more time, but, you eliminate the "knuckle cutting" sharp edges of the ties.
I had just recently discovered that newer boats are using the Yellow wire, but it was for the Hot circuit? I am confused if Yellow is ground or Hot now?
The yellow wire is a "return" to negative for the switches light function. Some might call it a ground, but in essence it does not serve a "grounding" function as it doesn't serve as a direct connection to the boats hull. Each one of those switches has an internal light, that is connected to the +12V red feed wire when it is turned on, but to reliably connect the light to a negative, the yellow wire serves as it's connection to negative battery terminal or bus on the fuse block.
It is a pleasure watching an expert at work. The specialist lives in the details, thanks for sharing
She is a Master at rigging boats! Great job, really impressed with the quality of work they do there..
Respect for that woman she does a awesome job !!!!😱😉👌
She is an artist! Just beautiful work.

Love Debbie and Mike
Beautiful work Debbie! I love seeing an organized set up!
What a beautiful and clean job..
Great job Debbie!

Wish there was a whole series with her wiring step by step.
You both are extremely impressive people. Your videos are awesome.
I would love to apprentice under her. Always a skill I lacked and want to learn!
Wow quite the professional. Very Impressive. I keep referring back to this video to learn.
This lady does a great job - super tidy!
Great work! Doing it right and taking pride in a job well done.
That is professional work. Wow.
love this took a lot of tips from her when i redid mine.
Looks amazing!!
Amazing work!
Awesomeness
What a badass!
I might have to take a road trip down to Florida. I wonder what their turn around time is…
Is project dreamboat a dream now?... seems like infomercials now.
How hard is it to find someone to rewire a small boat down there? Lovely nice neet job!

Yellow wires for ground?? Did I misunderstand? Thx
Debbie will you marry me?
