Taking pictures of certain junctions and the panels where the wires begin and end will be frustrating to say the least. Most of the time the wiring systems are color coded. There are schematics that are line drawings of electricial systems for nearly everything electricial. With a boat being as simple as they are when it comes to systems, I would do a drawing (if I didn’t have a factory schematic), of each electricial item in the boat and draw a line with colored pencil to and or from it taking the shortest path possible. Electricial wiring has many factors involved in its application . For instance, amount of current, length and gauge all matter big time. There should be a schematic out there somewhere as these Allmand boats are well documented . This is why electricians, especially nautical electricians make big money. Good luck and Great boat!!!

Have the factory Manuel schematic.prior owners just added and subtracted at will. Trouble with following wires is that some owners modify original wiring by splicing circuits and using whatever color is available to extend a circuit. So I may paid a professional marine electrician to take a look and tell me best way to go about mapping the existing circuits. He does not want the small stuff and grunt work. I'm very capable of doing that stuff especially at $95 per hour. I bought a micro cam to follow wiring into nooks and crannies so I will also have a visual record.
