Called up Lars and told him what was going on with my electroics. He explained to me a few things he could think of causing the problem. I have not clue about electrical stuff however when Lars explained things it was easy to understand. He came out to my place, looked at the boat, found the problem, fixed it, and I was on the water by 2pm. Highly impressed with the job, business, and Lars is a great guy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thanks O-Sea-D for getting me on the water which allowed me to tear up the trout lastnight.

First of all thanks for the kind words and glad I could help. The root of his probs were shoddy wiring from the start. Things were not tied into his selector switch properly, things were not fused properly, non tinned copper wire corroded in just over a year, electronics not powered properly and lots of excess wire laying around to be snagged by stuff inside the console. All problems corrected, ran some new wire, cut out some corroded plug connectors, added a seperate fuse panel for accessories, GPS, VHF, Stereo (later), and trim tabs. Also added inline fuses for power supplies to the dash, there was not a fuse in the system back at the batteries. Lastly tied wires up inside console so they will not get hung up on pretty ladies big bags when jammed in the storage area.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. FISH 24/7---- 25 Grady w/ a couple of Gas Guzzling 175 Johnsons “O-SEA-D” the old “Havanadaydream”

No reason to include the whole quote. His problems were exactly like mine. I solved all of mine one at a time but, your thorough list was my final list too. Anyone who is looking at any boating electrical problems could probably take this list and follow it to solve 3/4 of there problems. Thanks for posting this. iFly
