The wiring was a nest of wires, some that were still connected and other hot wires sitting in the bilge.
The latest round of work is correcting items on the survey that had not been dealt with by the PO.
The propane set-up was an explosion waiting to happen, with no warning device built in and no fire fighting equipment in the bilge.
New neoprene hoses have been run from the propane locker which is now properly vented, to the oven in one piece, replacing corroded copper tube with hose clamp connections.
It was a good thing to pull out the fridge and oven. There was nothing holding them in place! Just wedged in place.
The old style breaker which was outside in the cockpit, under a spot that was not sealed and subject to drowning in any sort of rain, has been moved inside. A proper breaker panel has been installed and the wiring from the batteries and 120 house side has been completely rewired with marine approved wires and ignition protected battery charger and inverter.
Heavy duty cable has been run for the master switches and parallel switch. The old switches were also in an area prone to getting wet and were moved inside the aft locker for easy access.
Lifesaver and ships bell replaced on the aft deck, close at hand and an orange ring for visibility.
