You can't prove I'm wrong. Sorry Jax, you lose this one.

Now you're really sounding like Jax yourself, arguing to death a point
that is indefensible and wrong. Here's the proof that you're wrong when
you say soldered wiring connections are not allowed on boats:

ABYC E-8.15.19 allows for soldered wiring on a boat.

You've said they're in the process of changing that but have not shown
any proposed revisions to support that claim. Until they change that
standard, you are absolutely 100% wrong. And even if they do change the
standard, a boat not meeting ABYC standards in and of itself is not a
reason to fail an insurance survey since most boats that pass insurance
surveys do not meet all ABYC standards. However, one that does meet all
of the standards is practically a sure pass. Which, again, means you
are wrong when you say that a boat meeting all ABYC standards *will*
fail an insurance survey.

Now, let's see you find similar proof that properly soldered and
supported wiring is not allowed on a boat. I'll bet you can't.

Sure, Jaxy. Take your meds and a nap.

Just as I thought. I knew you couldn't prove your statement, because
it's wrong. And out of frustration you stoop to the personal insult of
calling me Jaxy. You're finished.
