Well I'm in the middle of a big mess right now. The engineer in me says replace every inch of wire in this boat. Improve the system and modernize it. I'm being anal right now and picking everything apart.
I bought a bunch of wire a 12 fuse fusebox, two electrical books, a multimeter, tons of shrink terminals..................
I still need to deal with the cannon plug. The big fat round 8 pin plug that goes from the engine to the dash. I want to replace it however, they are not easy to find. I think I'll either go to the junkyard and scavenge a late model auto connector or keep searching the internet.
Who am I kidding, every inch of wire is going to be replaced on this boat. Some of the wires are dry rotted! This boat spent some winters out in the open. This is my first wiring job so it's going to take some time here.
Where's the postman, where's the postman, where's the postman............
Hey buddy, I think you slammed me and complimented me in one fell swoop. Well done brotha! Great skill!
Now, lets see some photos of those gauges, eh!
Getting close to jumping in that pool myself Don...best to you!
Think I may wait and see what Sprintst finds out, may be 'the' plan.
