HI GUYS well ive been hard at it to try an get this wireing done an back in the stern hull but the hospital beat me for the eye op so i treid to get as much done as poss an lot of work took longer than last time as the wires are a heavyier gauge an dont quite fit the sockets in the 44 pin plug but i screwed the wires ends tight an they solered ok but first pic is i took out the old wirein harnes

[boatman]

then drew out a rough plan of how an what wires will fit where in the new plug sorry if it looks complex but this is the easyiest way i could think to plan it an hopefully this time it will be right

[boatman]

a here now about half way through fitting the wires an this took two days of soldering but im pleased at how its goin

[boatman]

an done close up phew

Hi Chris
All the best for the operation. Lucky there was a cancellation although it must have been a bit of a shock to be given a date so close.
Take care.

Love that diagram Chris, especially the reminder LOL….

HI Tim well when handleing this many wires a diagram is the way to go but it took some working out but got there in the end an yes i really needed that reminder as its easy to move the plug around when cutting the wires to lenght an then setting off soldering the wires in the wrong way round then im in trouble so had to cocentrate with the upmost brain power lol but will be glad when ive got this all in an working as some wires are spares ason a model like this you never can have too
many wires

Chris, they'll be used to people with poor hearing so they won't mind if you ask them to speak louder or repeat what they said. Don't be too embarassed, just keep asking until you know what they're saying. They do this all day, every day, and will just want to make you comfortable.
