Find What You're Looking For At Very Easy Boating...
I just bought a Catalina C27 which has some serious wiring issues. I am only concerned with the DC wiring for the cabin, running, anchor, bilge and accessories as the original diesel engine is removed. Someone tried to rewire the main switch panel with a West Marine panel and then gave up.
Do these boats have a common bus or common wire colors to look for? Any help is appreciated!
here is a great site on c27 including your wiring diagrams,

I rewire boats and the best to do is decide what your going to have and where from the panel run wires of different colors from the panel to the equipment. The engine U can get on line under the engine wiring. Run all wires #10 #12 #14 panel and guages # 8 to #6 to the panel Pos & Neg Buss bar are good if you run large wire to them from the battery ground and battery switch. and for power and ground Tinned copper wire marine only so it will last and carry the amps with out overheating.Everything is how U wire it the code for ground is yellow not Black .All wire size depends on how many amps your using.
