My wiring was a mess under the dash... nothing was labeled, nothing made sense. I ended up adding a bunch of wires, labeled everything and pout it all in the wire conduit. Oh, did I mention that I knew nothing about boat wiring / electronics? It was fun, I learned everything I needed to and even planned for the future and ran a couple extra lines.

Actually, funny story when I replaced the dash panel, I messed up the wiring while putting it back together. Took a while to figure it out, but I got it running again. I recommend taking pics before undoing the first wire on your gauges.

Nice boat your have, I can't give you advice like these guys can but I learned something I have the glass fuses too but they still work but I'm going to consider changing them too the only two things I can say is first I would rewire the whole system and get the right colors for the system there are a lot of colors so when one thing stops working you know what wire it is And also Use tinned wire Don't rush and do one at a time It's worth the time, she's a great boat Every thing bilge lights horn Don't just use black and red You will never be able to trace it in the future If you can't get differant ( the correct ) color wire I would put tags at the ends so you know which wire is for , I hope I said that right I go out of nj too Atlantic highlands Maybe I will see you out there Capt
