Impressive.

1) There was a wire "label maker" discussed recently in one of the forums.
All your efforts equate to money-in-the-bank when it comes to sell that boat in 5-20 years!
2) DC (-) = Yellow
Best wishes on a great finish to your very great start...

ok, i put a extended explanation in the plcs in boat.
just now a smalle explanation.
I was a process developer in the chemical industrie and we found that plc are very stable even for hard temp/vibration, ect. situations
I use the siemens logo system first its not so costly, you can use it for a lot, and i have the programmable software (i program them for the last 14 years)
On my boat hey have the following functions :
1. monitoring the motor exhaust tube temperature
2. monitoring the service bat capacity and (if selected) start/stop the generator.
3. control the bilg pumps and if they run to long phone me with a warning, if they run at critical time keep phoning till some anser or connect to the port security.
4. control timing for the side gang lights.
5. give a warning for refill check of the service battery (all on screen)
6. give a warning or phone if the 220v service get off line (for the coolers)
just making it safe and better control when not on board.

Thnk you. I have an epson 900 label maker and dymo xtl500 label maker. I use them to make labels up to I think 1.5" wide, as well as heat shrink labels for the wires. Both are very nice, but the cartridges are expensive. DC- for yellow is a great idea.
This looks very nice and professional as well. My power transfer switches are off to the side of mine so you can walk right into the engine room and they are in your face. I am using automatic transfer switches though. I believe I have 8 of them.
Interesting forum to read through.
