So the bundle of red wires has a molex? or are they bare ends? You took the old panel out with molex plugs, not just take terminals off the switches? When I got my panel from New Wire I only had them pre-wire all of the jumpers. I used the online tool to layout the panel. So I just had to...

The time to get the hardtop is when the boat is brand new. get a Grady OEM hardtop. It is THE single best option on a boat. Don't even think about cheaping out with a bimini. The only legit reason to get a bimini is if you have to go under very low bridges to get out. In that case though I...

Yes the 10 awg red & black are the power feed to the switches. Hard to tell from your picture. Are the ones that say BATT a heavier gauge than the rest? If I were you I would take that right to the terminal blocks under the dash (if you have them) and bypass the molex plug and harness. I...

Just don't get it backwards. The switches are sending the power out the wires. Your new red wires get the female ends. ...except the power feed red and black. that is coming in.

If I were you I would use disconnects over butt connectors. You just put properly sized females on all of your new red wire. Properly sized males on the colored wires. Then you sit there and figure out where to plug them. Use females on the panel wires that will be the signal source(hot)...

I suggest NOT going to the molex plugs. They are a failure point. Pinning a molex plug is tedious. You need proper pin and crimp tools. You can't wing it. I haven't done it in this century. If you want to be able to disconnect the panel , use individual disconnect terminals. They are easier...

Thats a big wire bundle. Those are labeled and you are going to hardwire to them? That should be nice. Mine just plugged the old wires to the new switches. I just spent all day today rerouting all the wires out of the OEM grady bundles to make it easier to look at back of the panel. Hope...

If it has a seastar HC5345 it will work for both. Dunno what tie bar you have but that probably works too. Go to the seastar DOMETIC website and look at their chart for yammie motors by year. https://documents.dometic.com/media/download/97737?templateId=0&previewPdf=1

I usually have a couple gallons of bottled water onboard. I don't even understand why there are 3 sinks on my boat...stupid. "Galley", Head and "bait sink". I could wash one hand in the galley and one in the head at the same time. If I ever replace the tank it will be sized to drop in. I'm...

Here are some pics of the process Not possible!!!!! port side behind drawers The brackets in the rear had to be bent backwards out-of-the-way I got them from the Portside drawers. They are in the way of pushing the tank backwards, so there’s no way to tilt it enough to get it up and out.

I will not repin any of these connectors. They have not been apart in 24 years. They only exist to make building the boat easier. When I find another problem it will get hardwired around the plug.

So, having my head in there all that time I learned a few things. There is an aluminum bar about 1/2" thick inside the upper transom. You can see it in the pictureswhere the motorwell joins the transom. Just above the plate that I put in. You can see the adhesive filler that oozed out when...

when working on my motors I noticed a slight wetness on one trim cylinder. Rod not pitted. My Marine Tech Tools pin wrench MT0004 from the yamahas doesn't fit the hole pattern Ordered a pair of replacement caps and a cheap tool MT0006 from amazon. New caps arrive. Pin hole pattern doesn't...

This project was NOWHERE on any of my many lists of things to do. I was testing things on the panel and found that the FW pump did not run. I thought it might be related to a molex connector problem I was having. Turned out it was just green connections at the pump. Got pump running but...

So, after getting it to work, I then had to deal with a BS replacement switch in one fixture and then a nearly broken off wire on the lamp socket of the other fixture (because they were dangling during troubleshooting.. Bought new Perko mini switch. installed. No light again. Looked back at...

all of the OTHER switches need pin 8. Pin 8 is the (+) and 7 the (-) for the illumination bulb. Your blue wires jump from 8 to 8 to 8 and there are black wires from 7 to 7 to 7.... Your Nav/Anc has two lights that are DEPENDANT on the switch position. They both light when ON because of the...

The other problem you will find is that some new sender units (KUS) have a PINK ground wire and Black signal wire. You have to reverse them and connect their pink to your Green... Sometimes its White and Black and Black is the signal.... That happens with LED light fixtures too.... READ THE...

I'm gonna say no. when I re-did the dash, I toyed with the idea of removing it and closing in the back vertical. I remember it was not going to be easy to even try.

If you're sending unit doesn't have a ground direct to battery then you can have strange problems reading. The more things you have turned on, the more your gauges are wrong.

I read it and thought I was having a senior moment. Then I realized YOU had the senior moment.
