Recommended Multimeter

Question:

Love your informative videos. I’ve done basic house wiring, vehicle mechanical wiring and I’ve learned from your videos that boat wiring is very different and the code standards are “minimum”. I’m planning on buying my first boat in 2021. I’m looking at 27- 30 foot cruisers. Can you recommend a clamp on multi-meter for the DIYr with very basic electrical knowledge. Cheers, - Richard

Answer:

Hi Richard, good question, here is a link the Bluesea multi-meter we recommend:
