Well, working on my old boat tonight I decided to tackle the ignition switch wiring. Following the existing wiring and equipment I replaced the current 3 prong starter (Batt, Ign, Sol) then wired two wires which existed on the previous switch to same terminals.
Nothing. No clicking, no ignition nothing
So, fussed and farted around and changed the wires to different terminals.
Hmm...running lights on ALL THE TIME and the engine/solenoid now clicks when the key is turned.
What makes this all the more fun is every wire in there is white!
Am I close? Any ideas? I'm thinking at this point of dropping off the boat to an expert and having them rewire it...
