I bought this boat a few weeks ago. I have been tinkering around finding things to fix and figuring out what is wrong. I have one cluster question, I don't know if these boats came with general shut offs or if this is aftermarket (I suspect). But I find 2 nice big batteries in the batter well with a lot of wires going around all manner of mess. I found 3 fusable links with 20amp in-line fuses in tact. The motors will crank/run, the trim on both motors work fine (one does leak down over time). But no other electrical works...no nav lights, no tachs, no fuel indicator, no running light, no light if there is supposed to be one in the windlass, and no bilge pump, one of my biggest worries. I checked all the fuses in the cluster in the console, all but one were good, one 15amp was blown. If whoever put in the general shut offs didn't wire a large part of a harness, is this the problem and where can I find that? What am I looking for? I can unscrew those big switches and pull them out to see. Any ideas? Ok, now for the nubie question, where is neutral? Can I wind up these engines without being in gear? Oh, one more thing, the Riptide on the spit will light up if I plug it into the power plug in on the bow...but I don't have any related foot or remote control so that is about it.
