That's where we're fortunate in Alaska. We have tidal grids to do
things like transducer replacement on. I expect the EPA will be
taking those away from us before long though. Nothing sensible like
that is allowed to stay these days.

I agree with Perry and Cindy. Not many of us own Uniflites so I feel
like that puts us in a very unique group. I plan to rewire the
flybidge on mine also as it is full of old spaghetti also. I plan to
use a few wiring junction blocks to help eliminate a lot of the extra
hot wires and ground wires. As Perry suggested, by taking it one wire
at a time, you can group your wiring in to a nice neat bundle and
slowly the spaghetti will be gone. Probably the first thing to do is
develop a plan and visualize it. It seems very complicated and
intimidating because of all the extra useless wiring you see. It will
take you a little time but you will really be proud of your baby once
it is complete. Our Home Depot has tinned wiring along with stainless
connectors and, as you might expect are much cheaper than going to
your local boat store. The stuff from O'riellys, Autozone, Pep Boys,
and the rest won't hold up there. Of course, if everybody quits doing
business with the local stores, they will eventually go under, and
that's not good either. Kind of a damned if you do and damned if you
don't kinda thing. My only complaint with my 48 footer is the
designers obviously counted on little 4 foot midgets to do the work
under the dash. I have one little hole to crawl through on my belly.
Now, if someone could come up with a way to change out a transducer
without having to pay for a haul out or sinking the boat, I'm all
ears.
