electrical installation on a floating dwelling

Andy78 · Dec 14, 2018

I really need some help in a project I have become involved in wiring a lived on boat. It's something I have not done before or anything remotely similar so I'm well out of my comfort and confidence zone.
I'm really struggling finding a definite guide as to the correct regulations I need to be following or even any best practice guides. If anyone can offer any experienced advice in this field I would be most grateful, even a finger pointing in the right direction would be great.
I'll refrain from posting detailed info about the job until an experienced mind pops along as it might be a bit much.

Beg all you like... 'None', in this case, is not a contraction, it is a pronoun meaning 'not any' and can be singular or plural. However it's used, 'none' never has an apostrophe.

Say it out loud. "the screw slots are aligned". "the screw slots is aligned". Which one sounds right?

and that croc clip, bottom right...is that a "handy spare"?

Yes I think so. Probably a spare for the Makita drill I found on the workbench. The 4.8V battery drill that had some twisted bellwire soldered into it with croc clips on the trailing end to power the drill from the 12V battery I assume.

Had to look twice at the top right of that earth terminal block! Must be my mind!

Think the medallion depicts a bull's head. Would love to know what you are seeing though

@pirate Is that the same as the "black death" you get on old automotive -Stranded cable- on trailer sockets ? .. or another colour !

Perhaps with the eye of the mind?

I find slapping an "Innit" on the end fixes many
grandma errors .
" the screw slots is aligned innit "

At first glance it looked to me like a johnny.

Oh, don't get me started!
What is "correct" and what is "received pronunciation" shows the void...
You and me?
You and I?
Subject and object...
Colloquially, none of us are perfect...not one of us is perfect...
It doesn't really matter.
We are not perfect...
I am not perfect...
he is not perfect...
