Rewiring
I fished Friday and my 24 yr old boat decided that it was going to shock me every time I touched the ignition switch/key. Then it started trying to start the engine when I shifted from Forward to Neutral or Reverse.
Time to rewire.
I'm just going to draw it out on paper the way I see it and try to go from there, but does anyone have any tips or websites that might be of assistance? I'm just going to draw it out, lay it out and start fresh because the pulling one wire and replacing it method will take forever and a day due to all of the old, unused, well used and junk wiring that's accumulated over 3 owners and 24 years.
The twist in my mind is that my GPS, VHF, Nav/Anchor lights and deck lights are on their own panel up in my overhead box (duplex run straight from the battery switch up a leg of the tower and to the back of a distribution block last winter, doesn't have anything to do with the console/ignition switch, etc) and when all that stuff started happening with the shocking and such, my GPS gave me some message about "antenna shorted to ground" but it kept working and when I cleared the message it never came back. Coincidence?
We were in some really heavy seas when all this started and that's the last time I want something happening to shut my boat down so I want to wire it now and do it right.
