My first boat JOY!!!
I always find the best forum for whatever I am working on, and this seems to be the spot.
Questions:
Gauges are sporadic along with the radio. Assuming wiring issues somewhere. I'd like to take off dash and start tracing wires. So, how to I get off dash? Basically the steering wheel connection is my concern. (common sense approach, or is there anything to worry about?)
What's the small cylinder type plastic that is about 1" tall next to the bilge pump? There appears to be a wire that looks like a coaxial cable that is cut in half, half way up the boat.
Before anyone ask... yes I test drove and the intermittent stuff was there, but I took the risk. 9k for a 2001 Q7 with a trailer seemed to be a pretty good deal. New upholstery a few years ago.
