And correction on the dome light wires I have. Black gray blue red

Again guys I really appreciate all your help. I'm sure you understand how nerve-wracking it is trying to get the boat ready for the season and then stumbling across this. for now I'm going to be hooking everything back up except for the dome spreader lights as I feel nine volts coming back on...

With the battery switch off nothing is showing volts. With the battery switch on the meter is showing that the black wire is positive and at 9.8volts. here's the crazy thing. When I put that black wire to the ground bus, it powers up my overhead electronics???? Could one of those electronics...

Lol. I know I know but when I heard that crackle with little tiny spark my mind started going bananas. I guess my biggest concern is that one black wire coming from that plug that has a constant 12 volts. That black wire is going to the negative bus, along with the other black wires, and that...

This picture is looking in from the bathroom/head panel facing aft. The connections you can see are coming into the helm, the other side of the connections that you can't see are routed up then down helm somewhere towards aft of boat. So basically you are looking at what is coming from the buss...

I'm still going to get a few pictures of that white connection/plug/harness for your input as to why I'm getting constant pos from one of the black wires coming from it. If that's ok?

Seasick that is a great help, I never knew that you can read voltage at the negative end if the negative end is open and the positive is closed/connected to pos buss. What I seen was not a severe spark by any means but more like a slight crackle spark if that makes sense. Could this be due to...

That's coming from the rub rails!!! Had the same issue, removed the rub rail tube insert, removed each screw and applied life seal in hole, then put back.

These are the one I bought for my sailfish, I think they are the same for the marlin, 330 etc.

I was cleaning my battery terminals on my sailfish yesterday and noticed one of my negative wires was sparking, giving positive feedback which is a no no. Traced that line to the negative bus bar under the helm/steering. There's aprox 11 black wires going to this bar. I removed each one and...

Just wanted to update and say thanks. It was the easiest fix I've come across in while. Like you said. Get the tool, use aluminum rivet. Simple. Worked like a charm!

Thank you skunkboat!!!! I just wanted to make sure before I placed the order. I have a few 6" pieces I need to make for my helm to auto connections and what's in there now is brass tubing. Im assuming I can just buy the long 25' piece, fittings, and make my pieces as needed. This is all new to...

Skunkboat, I think I researched myself dizzy. Are you able to confirm which hose you used for those fittings 2TFMS-6-5B. can I use this...

Ok I'll give it my best guess as far as advice goes on this as I'm not great with fabrication work. If it were me and my limited fiberglass skills, I would take some kind of bendable material (cardboard, plastic sheet etc) and get it behind that hole and taped down as best you can. Then I would...

Hey congrats on the new boat! Do a quick search in the search bar "cabin leak" and there's a few threads that should pop up. I haven't gotten around to fixing mine yet, but if I recall when researching it you had to remove the exterior trim and seal and clean everything out and replace the seal...

I think those lebrocs are nice, but I honestly like having the armrest, also those lebrocs are out of my price range. I figure for $450 I can have armrest, flip up leaning post style, and front/rear flip position. My only concern is if it'll bolt directly into the existing seat bracket?

Bringing this alive again! Want to replace my Pompanette capt chair with this: https://www.westmarine.com/buy/springfield--twin-46-flip-up-seat--17075086 The details are limited online and wanted to know if anyone installed this model? Seems like a good compromise? I guess I'm concerned if...

Thank you everyone, I'll post an update in a few days.

Thank you for the advice and info!. I just purchased this one that comes with aluminum rivets of all sizes. Worsted case scenario I open up the hole a bit to fit the rivet size.
