Under the circumstances... I would tend to do a two-phase solution. 1. At both ends, above the bilge area, put the most durable printed labels you can find. 2. Both at the ends, and intermittently under the deck, use a coded ID number for each cable using those slip-on crimp-on types (the cablecraft ones someone pointed to a bit upthread). You won't have the full label in the middle, but you can look at any endpoint and get the description and the cable's individual ID tag, and then trace the tag numbers in the bilge.

I've been using markable heat shrink, but as Jim says, it's very time consuming and awkward, so I was hoping for something better. I have tried a few of the wrap-around plastic write-on types, but the glue doesn't hold very long in the damp environment. I'm hoping to find a printable plastic wrap-around with a glue that will stick in the damp, as it would let me pre-print everything before the job. --lyndon
