seriously!!! even i can do that in half the time they did and most of that time spent looking for tools that i just put down
as for the electrical stuff, has the boat got a busbar of some sort?
everythinbg apart from the battery wires to the ignition is easily done if you spend some time on it.
the battery wires are a bit tricky as they are quite thick and need proper crimps and stuff to be done properly.
for the radio just get a battery powered one, or get one of those blue tooth speakers and use your phone to play music/radio..

Me too, not the cheapest and he admits it, but you get what you pay for.
So many backyard cowboys out there at the moment. Pay a professional a bit extra and you won’t have any worries.

Soon as you mention Boat work-Ching Ching Ching-It will cost you
People should read up about things and have a go themselves
People shouldnt be frieghtened just because its a boat-Jobs like lights,pumps and general maintance ie Plugs,filters and oil should be done at your home -Then you know its been carried out correctly.
I carry out a 100 hour service on my boat every 50 hours
