Good afternoon,
I picked up a 1993 four winns 190 candia that looks absolutely amazing and ran just as good as she looked when we took her for the test run. When I bought it and took it home I was so excited to finally have something that I am not having to get running just to go out. The person I bought from lived on the lake and so the boat was in the water already and ready to step in and take a ride. When I took out for myself I had my wife and kids with me. We backed the thing in the water and much to our dismay it was dead as a hammer. Not even a clicking sound. So I had to pull my truck into the water and hook up jumpers because it wouldnt even jump from another boat. I got it cranked and we let it run at the dock for about 30 mins. cut it off and cranked back up. All was right in the world. We rode all day and had discovered another issue. The gauges jumped all over the place for some reason. I I reached under the wheel and could move the wires and it would go back to where it needed to be. I got it home and backed into the garage. I got up in it the next day and battery was dead again. I looked under the dash where the wiring is and there are wires everywhere. Fella undoubtedly put in a new stereo and cut into the ignition switch for power. So when I turn the key to Acc the stereo doesnt work. When I go back to off it automatically comes on. There are a lot of cut wires under there and I need a schematic. There is also a built in depth finder that is for some reason spliced into the purple ignition wire. There is a black wire and 2 white wires coming off. I have read the stickies but all the ones for this area say document has moved or something. Any help with this wiring mess would be awesome. If you need more information or pics let me know I will run out and get them.
