Boat Wiring Seminar on Jun 10

Confused by your boat’s wiring? Have a jumble of 34 wires on each battery terminal? And don’t know what they are for? Wonder why your boat wires are as thick as your thumb and limp while and your house wires are thin and stiff?
Come to our Famous (if every Roast Beef place can be famous, why not our seminar?) DC Boat Wiring Seminar on Sunday, June 10 at 6PM at in the clubhouse presented by Lou Schoenthal and Tom McLaughlin. Lou and Tom are retired electrical engineering professionals and sailors with more years of wiring and sailing experience then they care to make public.
A PowerPoint presentation (if we can get the projector to work) on wiring theory and wiring standards will be followed by a practical demonstration of crimping, shrinking, using proper connectors etc.
Bring drinks and snacks, this is very informal!

Thank you Jim Garfield for sharing photos of our Memorial Day Breakfast and Ceremony.  It is always a special day to gather with our SWYC family and friends to celebrate the beginning of the season, and remember our loved ones who passed, our fellow fallen members and everyone who has stood in harm’s way to allow us to enjoy the life we enjoy.
