Recent high tides caused a problem to re-occur. The remote 2.5 ton electric lift motors stopped working at high water!! This time we decided to remove the under-the-dock cable and rewire it through the roof of the RYC boathouse. The problem soon revealed itself as soon as the old cable was removed from the conduit pipes... which were not sealed, no watertight unions or bends! As we extracted the cable we found the 5 wire spliced to a another piece of extension cable using wire nuts! What an electrical nightmare especially in a marine environment.... that *&$%@#* electrician should be taken to the end of the RYC dock and administered a particularly brutal Spanish torture with the remaining piece of cable!
