I have three boats (shortly going to sell one of them, we hope!).
I've spent happy (?) hours clearing up the awful mess previous owners had made of the wiring and as a consequence I'm coming to the conclusion that some sort of cable tracing equipment would be very useful.
I'm currently trying to fathom out where some of the wires run on one of the boats and I'm having a hard time doing so.
So what is there out there for tracing wires? These are nearly all low voltage DC (12 volts) so things that detect 50Hz aren't going to do me much good. What I'd *really* like is some sort of "non invasive" signal injector with a probe to trace where the signal goes. I suspect that is going to be expensive though.
Even some simple way of connecting to cables without cutting or disconnecting would be useful. For example I'm trying to find what feeds some lights which have flying leads from the light fitting crimped onto wires emerging from the nether regions of the boat so there's no easy way of getting at them electrically.
Any ideas would be welcome.
