Hi all
I am in the middle of my solar project at the moment and currently have all wiring running on the Port side of the boat as this is where all the controls etc are.
Due to running short of space i am looking at putting the Solar regulator on the Starboard side inside the cabin and running the cabling on the same side to the batteries.
My fuel filler and breathers are on that side of the boat - is there any rule/guiide saying i should not run cables on the same side as the fuel plumbing? The wires will be enclosed in plastic cable conduit along the length of the hull for added protection and it will be sheathed cable as well.
Keen to hear everyone's thoughts on this
Thanks
Blair
