Jeff cote here with ask pys we've got a question from a fellow boater this boater asks us questions on how to update schematics right and so first of all let's put context to the question as a boat owners we should all want to have wiring diagrams for our boats it's essential to be able to troubleshoot a problem quickly and even if you're not so comfortable with troubleshooting giving that piece of paper to a friend or a fellow boater that might be in an anchorage with you that can help you to troubleshoot is going to be way easier if you've got something to start with because coming on about not having anything no diagrams and trying to solve a problem can be really humbling and time-consuming and that means frustrating so this question is relevant how do you go about updating so the first step is don't get caught up even with software or not software the first step is having a diagram to begin with so even if it's on paper even if you use a pencil and you have an eraser put it down on paper and over time that diagram can grow and evolve it might not be pretty but at least you have something and i see these diagrams from boaters all the time they still convey a lot of information you can't describe what an electrical system is using just words schematics really get to the point now if you want to digitize this diagram we here at pys use microsoft visio as a tool we like it because we can move the items but that's not the only one i bet there's a lot of other drawing tools that you can go out there we just happen to use microsoft physio to actually create schematics especially for our design and consultation services so do it make a diagram start with pencil and if you want to make it prettier or nicer then what we do here at pys is use microsoft physio thank you for watching this pys video if you've got further questions please ask it below or contact us on our contact form on our website and don't forget to subscribe thanks again for watching
