I am going to do it myself. Paying someone to do something I can do myself is just plain silly. I signed up here because of the endless flow of know how. I have been at it all afternoon and figured most of it out just by looking at it. I have developed hardcore OCD since picking the boat up so the elec system has to be tip top. I'll take pics and put up last guy used coat hangers for stuff!!! The previous owner broke the neg on all switches, so that was one thing I changed. Another thing I saw is that the temp doesnt move on the gauge, the engine seems to run very cool. To the touch after a full day of running around no hand jerking from heat off the block. Like I said in the OP I'm new to this world and just had to get my feet wet. So far kicking ***.
Thanks for all your insight you'll be hearing from me again!! have a good week all
Tim
