Thank you skunkboat! It seams as tho the previous owner did some splicing as stated. I going to boat in the next day or so after I get the replacement push/switch and map out the wiring from the inside. You posting what you have above at least verifies I'm not going crazy. Can't thank you enough.

Off topic question, is that white square cover above your keys a si-tex auto pilot? I only ask because I have one and am clueless after 3 years how to operate it.

Ok so I just ordered this and hoping it's as comfy as it looks. The measurements online don't seem any wider than. The stock chair I have. I'll follow up after the order comes in.

I think that's what I'll do. I took the advice above and already put everything back together, with the exception of the courtesy/dome, before I find a problem that isn't there . I think tomorrow I'm going to take the light apart and look into it more. I do know that the light worked perfectly...

This is the way it was before I disconnected it was: Blue wire-connected to another blue wire that exists electronic box Grey- went to fuse block 10amp Red-went fuse block 15amp Red again, which I find out to really be black at the source- went to ground block Not sure if this matters but in...

I have a 2001 282. The wires I'm referring to are in regards to the dome courtesy/ spreader light combo..... That combo light that is attached to underneath the electronics box. It's a dual switch one controls the spreader lights and one controls the actual dome light. There's nothing in the...

Hey skunkboat trust me I take this all as good advice. I know it's hard through typing and messaging but I'm taking this all in as a positive. And I'm more than appreciative for any and all input. okay I put everything back together with the exception of the dome/spreader wires. The reason I...

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...
