Thanks for the offers but I'll go with what I have and maybe change them out next season when I have time.

Kracker, I have a Service Manual pdf for the DF140. If you send me a PM, I can email you a link to download it from my google drive.

I'm in the process of rewiring the entire switch panel. found lots of crappy wire and crimps. then found corrosion in the fuse panel....off to West Marine for a new one.

Had my old bilge pump all connected up with new wire & crimps & heat shrink. tested it, it ran 4 seconds and jammed. Took it out of the plastic base to check it out, snapped off one of the retainer clips in the process, didn't find anything jamming it, spun it by hand, tested it, it worked, but the base clip is broken and I don't trust it so Another trip to West Marine. Cut out all my nice wiring and wired in a new bilge pump( actually a second new bilge pump because I had already mounted a new one in the forward bilge).

I'm adding leds to the gunnels and cabin and an underwater led in the transom drain plug...very cool! Of course, they all needed switches...
