“Crazy Lady”

I have fun spending some time trying to figure out some electrical problems on the boat next to us “Crazy Lady”, single handled by Ann Gates. She has a couple issues that is affecting her refrigeration and charging. The main issue turns out to be her power cable from the house batteries to the electrical panel. It has developed some resistance at the connector, lowering the voltage seen by her DC equipment. Ann removes the cable and buys some new connectors and using my hydraulic crimper I make her a new cable and also solder the lugs after crimping. She puts it back together and is quite happy, everything is now working correctly.
