Hi Guys,
I am looking for an experienced person to install several electrical items on my Hobie PA 14,  such as a multiple switch panel, running light, USB port, live bait well, and maybe a micro pole, etc.  I already have a fish finder and battery installed that would need to have the wiring redone to accommodate new items.   I've talked to a couple of the kayak shops and they don't seem interested in doing this.  Can anybody recommend an experienced electrician type person who has done this before in the Sonoma County area?
Thanks.  Please reply here or on my email at rkwh@comcast.net

Allen Leepin (Otobepelagic) Loves to do this kind of work.  Start PM'ing him.  Multiple PM's are suggested.  Though supremely talented in electrics, he is known to be somewhat limited with communication skills.

Die-electric grease, marine wire (tinned), and adhesive lined shrink tube are your friends.....

Thank you all for your comments.  Bouche... I will try to contact Allen this week.  I also had a person in a kayak shop suggest Fred Fritz Marine Electronics in Petaluma.

If you want to hit a shop, I can also reccomend Johnson Hicks in Sausalito.  I was teasing kind of Leepin. though he might surprise me...

It sounds like a lot of stuff you want. 1st concern is how many battteries you will need..
