Electrical games

This week I spent a few days on the boat, changing and upgrading the wiring in a few critical areas.

We have a big 1300w inverter which changes our 12v battery bank to 220V for charging the computer, ipods, vaccuum, etc. THe inverter has never been working, so we're using a very small, one appliance at a time inverter (the kind you plug in your cigarette lighter) for EVERYTHING. Kind of a pain. 

So, we had it repaired last year in Turkey for the winter and have been hauling it around, because it is not a small job to run the large cables from the battery bank, through a 100A breaker and get it all in nice an neat! SO, with no on e on the boat, it was the perfect time to rip and tear into it.
