It will be interesting to hear the root cause of today's boat fire at Davis Island Yacht Club. (Sailboats don't just spontaneously combust.)

Remediated a lithium battery installation on a triple outboard 36’ fishing boat. Issues included cross-connecting engine start batteries to the new lithium’s, no main fuse on the new batteries, insufficient capacity for DC-DC chargers, unsupported cables suspended over the battery compartment, 7 and 8 conductors on the battery terminals, and orange conductors used for both DC positive and negatives conductors.

Corrective actions included a Class T fuse for each battery, one DC-DC charger per outboard to minimize overload risk, bus bars to reduce connector count on terminals, new conductors that are long enough and standard color codes, and understanding and labeling what wire goes where.

Anchor windlass failure. Straight copper wire, a plain copper butt connector, and electrical tape for cover. Black copper oxide corrosion throughout the cables. This is a tear out and replace job from the windlass motor to the solenoid unit. ...with proper, tinned marine cable.
