Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.

Used the elec #'s book on wires, and bought custom labels for the fuse box and dash.  Stumbled across that book by accident, what an awesome find.

Daisy chained all the gauges.  I never noticed, but the backlights only worked on Nav and not on anchor.  I wanted them to light on both so I rewired it to do so.  Basically spliced off both terminal posts of the nav light switch, ran that to the right dashlight and then ran a positive lead to each gauge and then ended on the left dashlight.  Then ran the negatives back the same way and down to the negative fuse bus.  Ended the evening filling the rest of the holes with marinetex and cleaned all my mess and tools up and covered the helm since it's gonna rain.  Pulled off the zincs on the motor mount and trim tabs as well.  I have my son this weekend so likely not gonna get much done, maybe just paint the transducer and trim tabs.  Hopefully the weather cooperates next week with the daylight savings and I'll be all done by the weekend.

I'm a cheap date, Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Light all work for me.  In all seriousness I'm always happy to help where I can.  I love doing this stuff and helping others serves to help me learn more.

Hit my first real snag today.  Was cutting out the new dash and my pinkie finger somehow made it into one of the guideholesand my finger got pulled in and caught between the guide and the drill.  Cut straight down  through the nail to the bone then exited out the front of my finger.  3 hours in the hospital with a few very carefully and strategically placed stitches and it's sorta back together.  The throbbing it starting to kick in  fcp fcp

Add a beer or two so you don't get an upset stomach.
