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.

I'm finished? That's just one more thing you are wrong about, Jax.

Great, so now you're just like the pathetic dog who keep getting skunked
over and over and doesn't even realize he stinks.
