Boat needs electrical wiring re-done

Help need recommendation - 2006 Nautic Star 1900 Bay boat; electrical wiring got real hot due to main starter battery issue; inspected wiring under center console - many/most wiring burned off insulation? Can anyone recommend a reputable repair facility? Baton Rouge, Hammond, Slidell, Lafayette areas?

try yourself replace one wire at a time if just insulation burnt up been an election for 40 years it is not rocket science one at a time color means nothing

overload

What was the problem with the main starter battery? May have some equip. drawing a lot of current at you dist. block and wiring is too small for it. Try Jerry and Mike Lanoux in Gonzales. Jerry's outboard repair. They can help you out. Good luck.

Front to Back

Give Ken a call at Front to Back in Baton Rouge. He can likely give you some tips if you want to do it yourself. Cost of labor for something like this ain't cheap. Likely $80 plus an hour.

Repair

If you take it to Front to Back in Baton Rouge be prepared to be without your boat for a long time. Someone told me they were fixing to change their name to Watch Your Back service.

Hey, did you get your problem solved? I just came in from the heat repairing my trolling motor wiring. Some of the wiring in my boat is untinned copper. Saltwater loves it!
