So I took my 94 BassTracker Pro 17 apart to re-carpet and replace the wood..Job went well, boat looks great. But now..boat will not start..there is no juice getting to the ignition switch and I have no idea why..all the switches, aerator, bilge work. When you turn the key to on, not even dash lights are coming on, showing no voltage on the dash ..Im sure its a wiring problem somewhere, but I have traced wires all day long and everything is hooked up. I guess I dont really have a question for help, since its not easy to describe wiring over the internet..Just venting :) Any body have this model w some good under dash pics lol. I do have one wire hooked up to my cranking battery I cant figure out. It has a inline fuse, its a brownish in color, and I cant trace it..but the fuse is good. and to add...when I removed my floor, Tracker ( the geniuses they are) had absolutely no drainage in this boat. the drain when straight to foam, not expandable, but actual foam blocks. I couldn't believe it.

Re: mariner tracker 40 not getting juice

the kill switch wouldnt have anything to do with it getting no power at all w the ignition would it..I know that the switches are on a different harness, which makes sense why they all work, but I cant understand why Im not getting power to the key switch..I didnt even remove any of that when I took the console out..Ive checked all fuses, no cables not accounted for..

That wire on the battery has got to be it...It looks like it pulled out from somewhere, but for the life of me I cant find where to put it..anyone have any ideas where this thing plugs up to? The PO hacked some of the wiring together, so Ive gotta sort that out too, but I know this wire is supposed to go somewhere.
