Title: Complete wiring cost
Post by: el mojado on June 28, 2016, 08:27:07 PM
A buddy of mine just bought a Nordic 20 ft cruiser. It needs to be completely rewired. Has anyone paid a shop to do this? What did the shop charge? Dual batteries, electric fuel selector, lights, tach, gauges, etc. Thanks.

Way back when,  my shop charged two days labor and materials to do a complete electrical redo.

This was using a new Mercury Marine engine harness,  canon plug kit, accessory wiring, battery cables and gauge electrical including ATO fuse panel and accessory circuit breakers.

Today's pricing I would think that's a $1500 dollar job. Give or take.

Agreed. I've done several wire jobs on boats in the past and that seems to be a fair number. I could probably get it a little bit lower. I also build my wiring harnesses by hand as well.

I build my own too. Shrink tube, proper termination tool as well as solder all my joints/terminals. Also use marine wire colors. Faily easy, just takes time.
