Sailboat Electrical System

sailboat electrical system

Plus these two conductors will carry the current of all your electrical loads combined, so they are typically fairly beefy cables. even a small boat (3-5 loads) we’d recommend at least 12awg wire for this. 10awg for larger boats (5-10 loads) is normal. 8awg is getting toward over-kill in most cases for boats under 30ft.. Join jeff cote, from pys, as he goes through the building blocks of a marine electrical system. jeff will share the lessons learned from designing and installing thousands of boat electrical systems.. When marine electrical systems are working well, they are invisible to most of us – just like the electrical current itself. but it is this very convenience – the invisible power that does so much of the daily drudge work in the background – that is also what makes the system so daunting when things go wrong..
