Hey guys, finally got some time to get back to work on the electrical system. Put the console panel back in and was surprised that after my entire rewiring job I have only two problems.
1- still the on-off-on nav switch. I followed a guide for a 6 pole switch under the assumption 7 and 8 were for the internal light.... No
Good, can't figure it out.... I'm getting power to the switch but I just can't figure out how to wire this **** thing. A diagram for an 8 pole nav and switch would be appreciated.
Other problem, someone reccomended using a 10k ohm potentiometer as a dimmer for my gauge instrumentation and court lights.... So my console looks nice with two shiny new knobs but I sure as **** got the wrong potentiometers, they work.... Problem is they can't handle the current. Yes they do work and dim the lights, but when you turn the knob there is a glow and smoke coming from inside the pot. They both say they are rated for 115v.... Anybody know what the deal is...
Also for my panel fuse, i screwed up and forgot the fuse rating I took out of the console harness before I fully rewired. The following run off my panels power line - horn, nav lights, court lights (2incand plus 4 led), gauge lights, main and aux bilge pump, aerator, 12v socket. I threw a 25 a fuse in for testing and it worked fine for the time it was in but I didn't get everything including pumps running at the same time pushing water and such. You guys reccomended higher or lower
