I will second Peter Kennedy. I have had nothing but good experiences with him as well as several people in my marina. I liked working with him because he takes the time to help you with your system design, has the best prices I could find on Blue Sea products, and is willing (at least for locals) to sell less than an entire spool of wire at the same price per foot as a full spool. He even stopped by one Saturday while I was rewiring my boat to see how the project was going and to offer advice.
Sailingdog is the only person I have heard of who had problems with him. The other side of the story is very different than what is being shared here. Not that I expect the sides to agree, but there is more to this story.
You will see sailingdog and myself going back and forth about Peter on this site. I hate to see a good person's reputation trashed by one incomplete story that is constantly repeated.
