In Response To: Supplies For Re-wire (Frank)

Frank,
I just completely redid my twin station B26. Having spent lots of time researching and even learning some lessons the hard way, I have come up with a list. Some of these have been mentioned by others, but here is my top supplier list based upon my experience:

SJ Products http://www.sjproducts.com/
Wiring terminal ends, heavy gauge wire etc. They usually sell to West and others, but if you do a large order with items that West does not stock, they will sell direct. Great service, best source I have found for heavy gauge wire and heat shrink ends. Download the online catalogue and get your order prepared in advance, I faxed mine and got a price quote then placed the order.

Best source for "different" color wire that West and SJ and others (no one for that matter) do not stock. I bought several 50' coils of wire with different color stripes and in different gauges. Top quality stuff and very good prices. Great service as well. If you want a white wire with a black or green stripe or things like that, this is the only place to go.

Great prices on Blue Seas panels. Got me the the special order things I wanted. Slow to ship, but this was special order and overall good service. Everyone here agrees that Bass makes one of the best, but BlueSeas are also very good. BlueSeas had a pre-made panel that was exactly the size and had the breakers I wanted. Check out Bass as well.

Best source for individual marine grade toggle and other switches. Best customer service I have ever gotten from an on-line store. They also had really good prices on heat shrink. After I ordered the first time, they started sending me notices when ever those items went "on sale". They also carry special plug or harness kits for water resistant connectors. Think about these plug kits for items that you would want to remove for the winter or servicing.

Best prices and customer service on Furuno, ACR and other electronics for me thus far. Another faithful sent me there and I was very happy. Buy when they have shows going on for deep discounts. They also had the best prices for 100' spools of two conductor smaller gauge.

Take your time to get a list of everything you need and buy as many items (heat shrink crimp ends) in the bulk packages. None of these suppliers had the best price for everything. I had to shop around, get quotes and then did my purchasing. Give me a shout if you have any questions.
