Home improvement stores and Radio Shack sell adhesive labels that are about
the size of file folder labels that you can write on. I bought some at Radio
Shack several years ago, and apply them to the end of the wire where it
attaches to the breaker panel. Write on the label, peel it from the sheet,
and wrap on the wire with the long axis parallel to the centerline of the
wire.

 

For things like transducer wires that are routed through the bilge or
through compartments under the settees, I just take a short piece of white
electrical tape and make a "flag" on the wire, then write what the wire is
in case I need to replace or reroute a particular wire.

 

For the wire ends coming out of the mast, I've put a "flag: on each of the
wires for identification. There is a junction box in a small locker under
the front of the port settee. I put a wiring diagram on the bottom of the
access panel to the locker that shows which wire (and which color) attaches
where.

 

So I know which wire is which on anything I have installed ot rewired. I
just wish that C&C did the same when they manufactured the boat.

Rick - 

In your installations, do you use anything to label the wires?  I'm doing
some wiring updates and would like to mark the leads to make it easier for
next time.

 

Thanks,
