Do you have a circuit breaker panel down near your right leg when seated at the helm? It's on the side of the hull below the engine throttles. I don't see it on the diagram but maybe I missed it.

This is a 2006 wiring diagram, and I suspect that there have been a number of changes in the last few years. The breaker panel Charlie refers to has some redundancy--but he is correct it is not in this diagram. It is possible that "thataway" was the last of the 2006 boats, and the diagram might have been different for it than for earlier boats...

I don't believe so, we pretty much had the whole electrical system redesigned. These are the only two pics that are close. Breakers on the dash and engine control breakers under the sink.

Very nice looking wiring job--but any positive bus bar needs to be covered. Also it appears as if one of your primary switches is not secured to the panel. That needs to be corrected. (If the boat were to pass insurance survey.)

The 2006 era boats had both the breaker panel and fuses--in some cases redundant.

WOW! nice and clean. Someday I'm going to have SleepyC looking like that. When I took it down to Rogers Marine in Portland the poor guys about fainted when they saw the mess. It works, but it needs a clean up.

Thanks for the inspiration.

hardee - thanks for the props but it's all covered in mold at this time . . .

we re-did it before all the ancillary systems were installed. This factory wiring diagram gave my Dad nightmares for weeks.

He and Malcolm Morgan designed a different system.

and thataway - oh $hit . . . one of my primary switches is loose !
